And, searching back, can only find where lies 
A cold, stiff form, wrapped in wakeless slumber, 

While Hylas-echoes mock our frantic cries.

PREFACE. 



When I consented to occupy temporarily the editorial chair of 
the Deering News — a journal published in Portland, Me., but devoted 
to local matters in Deering, which was then an independent munici- 
pality, since annexed territorially by an edict of the State Legislature 
to Portland — I announced that under the caption of "Grandpa's Scrap 
Book," I should begin on the following week the publication of 
obtainable records of marriages, births and deaths of persons, families 
and events connected therewith, and continue the practice from week 
to week at such length as circumstances would allow, of those who 
had lived in the distant past and left foot prints upon the sands of 
time, and in some cases continue the story of descent of the individual 
name to the latest date. This announcement was made June 30th, 
1894, and it was soon made apparent to the publishers of the journal, 
by the increased circulation, that the innovation coupled with other 
changes, was very acceptable to the subscribers of the publication. 

May 14th, 1898, after an elapse of nearly four years — a period 
of many local events — a return to which even in thought is now 
exciting — of which the News was more than a simple recorder of 
happenings, I presented my last editorial to the public, which was 
followed on May 28, 1898, by a "Publisher's Card" that closed as 
follows: 

"Mr. Chapman will still conduct 'Grandpa's Scrap Book,' thus 
continuing this valuable feature of the News^ 

For a period of nearly six more consecutive years I kept on in 
the work and then stopped because I could not keep up with the 
demands of the compositors for "copy," thus making in all nearly ten 
years. The productions of this expenditure of labor have been 
gathered and preserved both by individuals and societies. And all this 
labor has been bestowed gratuitously. 



September 5, 1900, appeared the first article on Rev. Thomas 
Browne, which was continued in the next two numbers, making three 
in all. He came here in 1765, as pastor of the Stroudwater Congre- 
gational church parish of Falmouth, and was continued till his worldly 
departure which was October 18, 1797. In the ancient parish burying 
ground enclosure may be seen his grave memorial as well as that of 
his widow. In my search to learn from whence he came and find a 
record of his offspring, I met with a statement that William Browne, 
a son of Rev. Thomas, married a woman named Octavia Southgate, 
and that Bishop Southgate married a daughter of William Browne. 
This let down the bars and opened up a field of inquiry extending 
from Maine to Texas, and nearly wide as long. 

October 3, 1900, I presented an article on Dunstan, where Dr. 
Southgate erected the "Abbey," which was followed the next week 
by another. 

October 17, my first article appeared relating to the Doctor and 
his descendants, which was followed by many others, the possessors 
of the name coming to my aid in every instance when solicited for 
information. 

In searching for Southgate I found many King names and records 
of incidents w^hich I felt ought to be preserved in print, and so I kept 
on furnishing "copy" and when a sufticient amount of "dead matter" 
had accumulated a form of sixteen pages of book size was made up 
and a sufiicient number of sheets printed to supply what was then 
thought would be the demand, now amounting to a hundred and fifty 
pages of print in addition to what here appears in the Southgate 
Monograph. 

I did not intend in beginning and do not now offer this work as 
a genealogy, only as the name given on the title page indicates — a mere 
writing, but one replete in dates and records of events of a personal 
nature worthy of preservation and emulation. As a family group the 
Dunstan Southgate and King name both contains many evidences of 
direct gifts of brain force seldom met which has been used by the 
possessors to make the condition of the individual, the hamlet, the 
town, the city and the State at large more intelligent by word and 
example. 

I have hoped for object-lessons in the form of likenesses of faces 
and residences — such may come later when some other person uses 
the data and enlarges upon what is herein recorded.

I have a photograph of what is left standing at Dunstan Landing, 
in Scarboro, Me., of the original residence of Richard King, residences 
of six of his children — ■ all large buildings; two views of grave 
memorials in the Dunstan village cemeter}^; one of the King memo- 
rial recently erected in an adjacent cattle pasture, but under the 
protecting care of the Maine Historical Society; one of the Portland 
residence of Horatio Southgate, Esq. (son of Dr. Southgate); one of 
the last place of abode of William Browne, that stood on Middle, near 
India street, Portland — now removed; one of AVilliam himself, and 
son who died in Texas; one of the Joseph C. Boyd residence, Port- 
land; one of the "Clifford," which was the summer residence of 
Walter Bowne, Esq., as well as his cemetery memorial, including the 
ancient Bowne ancestral residence, two hundred years old, and Quaker 
meeting house of the same age, all of Flushing, N. Y., and several 
others, copies of which it is proposed to place in the archives of the 
Maine Historical Society, with a copy of this work, where the collection 
may be consulted. 

To Mrs. Harriet A. (Southgate) Graham, of West End, Ya., all 
are indebted for the half-tone cut of her father — Bishop Southgate — 
and for her manifest promptness in furnishing information when 
requested. 




I have recently foimd here in Portland, in the library of our Maine 
Historical Society, a copy of a history of the town of Leicester, 
located forty-three miles from Boston, Mass., and joining Worcester, 
from which it appears that in 1717, both Richard and James Southgate 
were residing there, that the first regular town meeting was held in 
March of 1722, when James Southgate was chosen a selectman, and 
Richard, treasurer. 

This history, containing four hundred and sixty-seven pages, was 
published in 1860. The compiler states that the original draft was 
made thirty years before that date, for the labor of which he did not 
expect in return "reward of fame or money." 

In 1737, Richard owned seven hundred and seventy acres of land 
in the town, and his brother James had become a large owner of real 
estate. James was a Congregational church deacon. 

The statements of the compiler of the history conflict somewhat 
with my own. He puts down the name of "John" as the oldest child 
of Steward Southgate, who was Dr. Southgate's father, and leaves out 



the name of Elizabeth, whom I say died January 28, 1738. He says, 
"John was born January 15, 1738, and was a brother to Dr. Robert 
Southgate, of Scarboro, Me.;" that he was well educated, that he was 
adjutant of a regiment of minute-men who responded to the call of 
"to arms!" in April, 1775, was Captain in an artillery company, etc.; 
was a land surveyor, and showed a good deal of fastidiousness about 
the dress of the soldiers. He engaged extensively in the purchase of 
wild lands in Maine, owning a large tract just above Bangor on the 
Penobscot river. At Stillwater, August 17, 1806, he was drowned 
while on a business trip to that region, in attempting to cross the 
river on a raft, and his body was buried at Kenduskeag Point, on the 
banks of the Penobscot. In 1860, one of the descendants was alive 
and many of his private papers were in existence. Steward Southgate, 
Captain John's father, was first a Congregationalist, but became a 
Quaker prior to 1732. Father and son lived neighbors. 

Richard Southgate, Jr., an uncle to Dr. Southgate, was a Baptist 
preacher as well as a farmer, and was known in his day as Elder 
Southgate. He was born in England, July 14, 1714, and died at the 
age of eighty-five. Upon his farm, which was located in the south- 
western part of the town, the cellar indentation of his residence was 
visible in 1860, where then was a collection of graves on his farm 
among which was his own grave memorial. The last interment was 
in 1799. 

Samuel Southgate, to whom allusion is made on page 8 of this 
work, was, it appears, a son of Elder Southgate, hence a cousin to 
Dr. Southgate. It is stated he lived in various places and finally died 
in Scarboro, in 1773, which agrees with my own statement of time 
of his death. L. B. C.

DR. ROBERT SOUTHGATE. 
FROM A PORTRAIT BY THOMAS COLE. 



* DUNSTAN. 



THE AJSTCIENT HAMLET IIST THE TOWN OF SCARBORO. 



On the margin ol yon orchard hill 

Are marks where time-worn battlements have been 
And in the tall grass traces linger still 
Of " arrowy frieze and wedged ravelin." 
Five hundred of her brave that Valley green 
Trod on the morn in soldier-spirit gay: 
But twenty lived to tell the noon-day scene — 
And where are now the twenty? Passed away. 
Has Death no triumph-hours, save on the battle day? 



Fitz Greene Halleck, 



The town of Scarboro is often de- 
risively alluded to as a place of salt 
marshes and clam beds, but as we sur- 
vey the field we marvel at the richness 
in display of intellect that has been 
produced by one little place within 
the town limits. 

Truly, much has been done to pre- 
serve in collected form the general 
history of the town, which is 
exciting even in a general un- 
folding, but in detail — tracing the de- 
scent of the foot-prints upon the 
"sands of time" of the descendants of 
the pioneers, more particularly the 
many ramifications of the last settlers 
and preserving in print the results, 
much remains to be done. "We refer 
to "Dunstan," "the third principal set- 
tlement of Scarboro," made in 1651, 
by Andrew and Arthur Alger, brothers, 
which settlement they gave the name 
appearing above after Dunstan in Eng- 
land. Indeed the story, or the mater- 
ial for it, of the re-settlement, is more 
difficult in obtainment because the 
chain of years is longer and the set- 
tlers more numerous since, than be- 
fore, the evacuation caused by blood- 
seeking Indians, and the desolation in 
consequence. 

The Alger brothers received the 
title to their tract of land from the 



*Upon the top of Scottow's Hill stood Scottows' 
Garrison house. From the Richard King, Jr., resi- 
dence, built in 1805, now in an excellent state of pres- 
revation, occupying the westerly slope, looking out 
upon the field of massacre and the " Valley green" of 
Dunstan, the view is charming. 



Indians and it comprised a thousand 

acres. 

"Arthur, in the division of the es- 
tate, took the northern part, which 
was the highest English settlement 
in the region; it was separated from 
his brother's by a creek or brook; 
he died without issue. Andrew had 
six children; three sons: John, An- 
drew and Mathew, and three daugh- 
ters: Elizabeth, married to John 
Palmer; Jonanna married first Elias 
Oakman and second John Mills who 
dwelt in Boston, Mass., where she 
died, and the third married John 
Austin. John, son of Andrew, had 
several daughters, one of whom, 
named Elizabeth, married John Mil- 
liken, first of Boston, then of Scar- 
boro, housewright. After the two 
brothers were killed, and their 
houses, barns and crops destroyed, 
the family moved to Boston. An- 
drew, Jr.. was master of a vessel 
and was killed in Falmouth in 1690, 
leaving one daughter, wife of 
Mathew Collins. Mathew Alger was 
master of one of the transports in 
Sir William Phipp's expeditions to 
Canada, and died of the fieet fever 
soon after his return; he was the 
last surviving male of that race, and 
the name in this branch is extinct 
in this country. The widow of the 
first Andrew married Samuel Walk- 
er. Several of Andrew's children 
had married and were settled near 
him; first John, second Palmer, the 
others following, their dwellings 
fronting the marsh in the neighbor- 
hood of where the Dr. Southgate 
house is seen which farm is a part 
of the Alger estate." 

[Maine His. So. Collections, Vol 

I., p. 213. A. D. 1865.] 



The foregoing furnishes a compre- 
hensive idea of the original occupancy 
of Dunstan. It was in the month of 
October, 1675, that the deed of murder 
and destruction of property was per- 
formed. The force consisted of ten 
white men and sixty to one hundred 
Indians. Of the Alger settlement 
there were seven houses and twenty- 
four years had intervened since the 
starting of the enterprise. 

Of the Alger title the following 
copied from York Deeds, Vol II., p. 114, 
furnishes a good idea of the locality, 
and presents the names of the In- 
dian claimants of the soil of the re- 
gion at the time of advent of the Al- 
gers. 

"The 19th of September, 1659." 
"The declaration of Jane the In- 
dian of Scarboro concerning land. 

"This aforesaid Jane, alias Uphan- 
um, doth declare that her mother, 
namely, Naguasqua, the wife of 
Wickwarrawaske, Sagamore, and 
her brother, namely, Ugagoyuskitt 
and herself, namely Uphanum, co- 
equally hath sold unto Andrew Al- 
ger, and to his brother Arthur Al- 
ger a Tract of land, beginning at 
the mouth of the river called Blue 
Point river where the river doth 
part and so bounded iip along with 
the river called Oawascoage in In- 
dian, and so up three score poles 
above the falls, on the one side and 
on the other side bounded up along 
with the northermost river that 
turneth by the great hill of Abram 
Jocelyn's and goeth northward, 
bounding from the head of the river 
south west and so to the aforesaid 
'bounds, namely, three score poles, 
above the falls. This aforesaid Up- 
hanum doth declare that her mother 
and brother and she hath already 
in hand received full satisfaction of 
the aforesaid Algers for the afore- 
said land from the beginning of the 
world to this day, provided, on con- 
ditions that for time to come, from 
year to year, yearly, the aforesaid 
Algers shall peaceably suffer Up- 
hanum and her mother Neguasqua 



The Salem, Mass., Probate Court throws additional 
light upon the situation. It .ippcars that Andrew 
Alcer made a will March 2;:, 1669-70. He sjave his 
wife Agnes his whole estate, with power to divide 
amon'.; his children, excepting' his Blackpoint property. 

The inventory taken May 22, 1676, states that 
Andrew was wounded by the Indians and dying of 
wounds, Oct. 14, 1675. 



doth both live, and also one bushel 
of corn for acknowledgement every 
year so long as they both shall live. 
Uphanum doth declare that the bar- 
gain was made in the year 1651 unto 
which she doth subscribe. 

The mark of Uphanum (X). 

"In the presence of Robert Cooke 
the day and date above written." 

The quotation we first present in 
this connection shows that the numer- 
ous Milliken family of Scarboro orig- 
inates with John Milliken of Boston, 
Mass., whose wife was Elizabeth Al- 
ger, daughter of John and grand- 
daughter of Andrew Alger, who was 
killed at Dunstan, Andrew Alger's resi- 
dence standing near the Dr. Robert 
Southgate brick mansion as now ob- 
served, and that John Milliken remov- 
ed to Dunstan, but the exact time we 
cannot state. On June 26, 1728, the 
First Church was gathered and we 
here present a few extracts from the 
church record of names "admitted in- 
to full Communion with the church of 
Scarboro since the first establish- 
ment." 

Sept. 8, 1728, Thomas Westbrook, 
Esq. 

Sept. 12, 1731, Nathan Knight. 

Sept. 17. 1732, Samuel Milliken 
and Nathaniel Milliken, "dismissed 
from a church In Boston." 

Oct. 31, 1736, Edward Milliken. 

May 29, 1729, Edward and Abigail 
Milliken had a son Joseph baptized. 
June 17, 1733, Nathaniel and Sarah 
Milliken had son Jonathan baptized. 
April 25, 1734, Samuel and Martha 
Milliken had daughter Jemima baptiz- 
ed. 

Col. Westbrook's stay at Dunstan 
was temporary. It is traditional that 
he erected a saw mill there, and 
records show that religious meetings 
were holden at his abode, but we can- 
not find that he owned real estate in 
that locality. The mill stood east- 
erly of Dunstan Corner. 

Nathan Knight, whose wife Mary 
was a sister to Col. Westbrook, pur- 
chased land in Scarboro in 1720, then 
in 1731 a house lot in Dunstan which 
was sold to Richard King where he 



ever resided in that place and where 
,he raised the family of which some of 
the memlbers became very celebrated. 
A part of the house may now be seen 
on the road to the "Landing." 

The original account book of Na- 
thaniel Knight, son of Nathan and 
Mary (Westbrook) Knight, is before 
us as we write. Nathaniel's wife was 
Priscilla Berry and they All unmarked 
graves near Stroudwater Falls, a 
mile southerly of Saccarappa vil- 
lage. Their daughter Sarah, was bap- 
tized in Scarboro Aug. 25, 1728. He 
was an active man, and we propose 
to speak of him in detail later on. A 
few extracts, however, from the an- 
cient account book we will here pre- 
sent: 

1728. to Dyating [boarding! ye 
men when hewing 
[mastsl at Dunstan, £77-4-10 
to making Walter Hinds 
trousers, 5-6 

to one day carrying 

things to Stroudwater. 8-0 
to sundry times my horse 

and boy to Stroudwater, 3-0-0 
to 32 days hewing masts 

at Dunstan 9@pr. day. 14-8-0 
to driving hogs to Stroud- 
water, 8-0 

These charges with numerous others 
are against Col. -Westbrook, but only 
in a few cases dates of months are 
given anywhere. Evidently Mr. 
Knight kept a pocket or some other 
sort of a memoranda and occasionally 
some one who wrote a better hand 
than himself copied onto the pages 
of the book before us. 

In 1760 the "pound" or place of 
confinement for roving cattle was lo- 
cated on the southwesterly corner 
made by the main highway and road 
to the Landing, and Morris Obryan 
had his residence and tailor estab- 
lishment next westerly. Edward Mil- 
liken was a saddler and another by 
the name of Milliken was a cordwain- 
er. 

In 1764, John Milliken states in a 
recorded deed, that John Alger was 
his grandfather, and, in 1773, that 
Samuel Carle, Jr., and Joseph Hodg- 



don were his grandchildren, who were 
mariners, and for "love and affection" 
he bore them gave them a piece of 
land located between the main high- 
way and the Richard King's residence 
— easterly side of road to the Land- 
ing. 

In 1770 it seems that the matter of 
bounds of the Alger claim was a mat- 
ter of discussion when a deposition 
was taken and recorded as follows: 

The deposition of James Spring- 
er of Georgetown, in the County 
of Lincoln, aged seventy-two 
years, testifies and says, that 
he came to Scarboro in 1728, 
and that he lived there about ten 
years, and that he was well ac- 
quainted with the tract of land 
caled Alger's Claim, and that Ed- 
ward Milliken, Samuel Milliken 
and Nathaniel Milliken lived on 
said Tract of Land at that time, 
and in the year 1730, he, the De- 
ponent, was with Mr. John Jones, 
Surveyor, when he ran out said 
land, and he began at the Head 
of said Claim which was at the 
Crotch on the Nonesuch River, 
above the bridge, near the great 
hill called Joslin's Hill, and that 
he, the said Jones, run from the 
aforesaid Crotch south west and 
came out about sixty rods above 
the uppermost falls on Dunstan 
River, so called, and that he al- 
ways understood by the general 
Talk of the people there that the 
aforesaid Line was the Head Line 
of Said claim, and that he has 
seen the tide flow up to the said 
Crotch and has carry'd pine] 
timber down said river from above 
the bridge where it now stands, 
about thirty feet long and from 
12 to 17 inches square, and the 
said Millikens claimed the said 
Land as theirs and descendants 
of the said Algers at that time 
and that about the same time, 
he, the Deponent, helped to build 
a bridge over said River where 
it now stands in the road leading 
over said great Hill called Joslin's. 
James Springer. 
Falmouth, July 13, 1770, 



In 1782 the Millikens and other 
heirs to the Alger estate at Dunstan 
became dissatisfied among themselves 

and they entered into an agreement 



to petition the Supreme Judicial 
Court for a commission to rearrange 
and finally settle all matters in dis- 
pute — all the heirs signing. The com- 
mission was appointed accordingly, 
Capt. Daniel Dole of Stroudwater be- 
ing one of the board, which report- 
ed two years later, or, in 1784, with 
a plan attached, the original papers 
filed in Boston, where they may be 
seen if not purloined. 

A little westerly of the road that 
turns northerly from the way from 
Stroudwater to Dunstan and easterly 
of Dunstan Corner, "Jona" Milliken's 
residence — a one story building — ap- 
pears on the plan and is placed on 
the northerly side of the road. 

A little westerly of "Stickey Mead- 
ow Brook," on the northerly side of 
the same way, going westerly, appears 
a two story residence marked Nathan- 
iel Milliken. Continuing in the same 
course westerly appears a two story 
house marked Edward Milliken. 

In the southeasterly corner made 
by the main way and the way to the 
Landing appears a one story house 
marked Samuel Milliken. 

On the westerly side of the Land- 
ing, on the westerly side of the river, 
fronting easterly, appears a dwelling 
marked Joseph Milliken, with a two 
story front and a one story back — 
the Landing appearing on both sides of 
the river with a bridge below, or south- 
erly of the Landing. He was many 
years an inn keeper. 

The Congregational meeting house, 
two storied, appears in the north- 
westerly corner made by the road to 
the Landing crossing the main way 
through Dunstan, and the lot com- 
prised a half acre and twenty square 
rods. 

The burying ground as now seen, 
comprising one acre and eight square 
rods. 

A little westerly of the burying 
ground appears the "Parsonage lot," 
comprising an acre and a half. 

Between the burying ground 
lot and the Parsonage lot 



two and a half acres are represented 
as assigned to Edward Milliken, this 
last lot extending back to the rear 
of the Parsonage lot and back of the 
burying lot. 

The present appearance of Dunstan 
does not indicate that vessels were 
once built there, that mast-logs a hun- 
dred and more feet long were procured 
and sent off, that it was a place of 
much traffic, that it has produced from 
an adopted child a President for Har- 
vard College, statesmen, a state Gov- 
ernor, clergymen, doctors and lawyers, 
but what we indicate is true and 
though now bereft of its pristine 
glory the hamlet will repay for a jour- 
ney of some miles to view the situa- 
tion as it appears today compared 
with what it has been, with its Con- 
gregational meeting house gone, par- 
sonage gone, those to recite its 
true story gone, mast trees 
gone, cattle pound gone, mili- 
tary training gone, fiip-drinking 
habit gone, but a harmonious blending 
in appearance of moderately aged and 
new residences and a neatly kept 
burying place of comparative great 
magnitude. 



ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. 

In the month of September, 1730, 
the Rev. Samuel Willard was installed 
in Biddeford, but while on a visit at 
Eliot was taken ill in the pulpit and 
died two days later, which was in 
the month of October, 1740, leaving a 
widow and five children, of whom 
Eunice was born in 1733 and Joseph, 
Jan. 9, 1738, both in Biddeford. The 
father. Rev. Samuel Willard, was born 
in 1705, a descendant of Rev. Samuel 
Willard, pastor of the Old South 
church, Boston, Mass., born 1639, a 
copy of a painting of whom may be 
seen in the Memorial volume by Miss 
Ann A. Gordon, 1898, dedicated to 
the name of Miss Frances B. Willard, 
the female apostle of moral suasion 
for the fallen and legal prohibition 
for the liquor traffic, who, it is 



claimed, was also a descendant of 
Rev. Samuel Willard of Boston. 

Richard Elvins was born in 1716, 
and by trade was a baker and em- 
ployed at Salem, Mass. He was a 
man without book education, but be- 
came converted by listening to the 
enchanting words and pulpit oratory of 
Rev. George Whitefield, concluded to 
become a clergyman. In 1744 he was 
settled over the Dunstan society, and 
Nov. 13, 1744, he and Abigail Willard, 
widow of Rev. Samuel Willard, de- 
ceased, were united in marriage and 
went to reside at Dunstan. He did 
not preach from notes but extempore, 
being gifted in speech. A sermon, 
however, of his, preached July 26, 
1747, at Dunstan, was printed. But it 
was not till 1758 that the second or 
Dunstan Parish of Scarboro was in- 
corporated, and fifteen males and fif- 
teen females were dismissed from the 
First to form a church society for 
the Second. Elvins died at Dunstan, 
August 12, 1776, after having officiated 
there 30 years, but his grave, if he 
was interred at Dunstan, has no head 
stone. His widow removed to Massa- 
chusetts. 

Of the five Willard children we have 
traced but two. 

Rev. Benjamin Chadwick graduated 
at Harvard College in the class of 
1770, and December 19, 1776, was 
made a pastor of the Dunstan church. 
He was one of the original members 
who founded, May 28, 1788, at the 
residence of Rev. Thomas Browne, 
Woodfords district of Deering, the 
"Cumberland County Association of 
Congregational Ministers," noticed In 
the News of September 5-8, which 
has been continued to the present 
day. Chadwick was continued in 
the pastorate eighteen years, but be- 
coming feeble in health and partially 
blind, in 1795, he was dismissed, 
when his health was restored to a 
great extent. In December of 1800 
he was succeeded by Rev. Nathan Til- 
ton. 

Eunice, daughter of Rev. Samuel 



Wilard, was Rev. Mr. Chadwick's 
wife. 

Mr. Samuel Libby, a clerk in the 
coal office at 70 Exchange street, pos- 
sesses one of Rev. Mr. Chadwick's 
sermons in manuscript. The paper 
upon which it is written is six inches 
long and there are forty-seven lines 
on a page. The letters are so small 
that scarcely a word can be read 
without study. A call and a perusal 
will repay. Mr. Libby will be pleased 
to show the document. There are 
others of the same sort of construc- 
tion in existence. 

In 1799 Rev. Mr. Chadwick pur- 
chased thirty acres of land located on 
the southerly side of the highway upon 
which highway the hamlet of Dun- 
stan is located. He built — we ven- 
ture the assertion without positive 
pi'oof — the one-story, low posted, good 
sized dwelling house, as now seen, 
painted white, on the premises, nearly 
opposite the cemetery, next, at this 
time, to the easterly side of the school- 
house, in which dwelling house his 
family resided and where all departed 
this life. For the thirty acres of 
land he paid $500. 

Nearly a century has passed since 
the Methodists of Dunstan put them- 
selves into an organized society. June 
i20, 1803, the Board of Trustees con- 
sisted of the following named per- 
sons: George Harmon, Thomas 
Thurston, Wentworth Dresser, Moses 
Waterhouse and Richard Waterhouse: 
and the board at that time received 
for the use of the Methodist Society 
from the Rev. Benjamin Chadwick and 
wife Eunice (Willard) a meeting 
house lot, located upon which is the 
low posted building, which is in good 
repair and used by the Methodists as 
a place of worship, with ample shel- 
ter in the rear for vehicles. 

Children of Rev. and Eunice (Wil- 
lard) Chadwick: 
1— Abigail, b. July 29, 1778. 
2— Mary, b. April 6, 1781. 
3 — Sopiah, b. Jan. 17, 1783. 

The above are all the names we 
find on the Scarboro town records. 



August 31, 1857, Mary and Sopiah 
having sold the land received of their 
father, excepting an acre and the 
buildings on it, estimated at $600, and 
Invested the money in Portland city 
bonds, and having become too aged 
to transact business and care for their 
personal wants, chose Amos Hight, 
Esq., their agent, with full power to 
act for them, but the two sisters did 
not survive long after the transac- 
tion, and the following transcript of 
the inscriptions from the small white 
marble monument tell the rest of our 
Chadwick family story as we know it 
from the records. 

Rev. 
BENJAMIN CHADWICK 
died 
Nov. 3, 1819, aged 75. 



Eunice, his wife, 
died Feb. 18, 1831, 
aged 88. 



Abigail Chadwick died Nov. 14, 1846, 
aged 68. 

Sopiah Chadwick died January 13, 

1866, aged 79. 

Mary Chadwick, died January 20, 
1861, aged 80. 

"These all died in faith." 



PROF. JOSEPH WILLARD. 
Joseph Willard was born in Bidde- 



ford Jan. 9, 1738, He was six years 
of age when his widowed mother mar- 
ried the Rev. Richard Elvins and 
went to reside at Dunstan, where he 
was a bare footed boy, his step- 
father residing a few rods westerly 
of the cemetery which has since been 
enlarged so as to make the parson- 
age lot join that of the cemetery. 
And it requires but a little stretch of 
the imagination to see him piling 
wood upon the "Landing" and unload- 
ing goods from vessels, for he made 
several trips as a sailor in a coaster, 
but the evidences of intellectual merit 
appearing in such a convincing man- 
ner friends advised a college course 
and tendered assistance, so that, in 
the graduating class of 1765, at Har- 
vard we find his name, and a year 
later a tutor at the institution where 
he continued till 1772 when he was 
ordained at Beverly, Mass., as a Con- 
gregationalist clergyman, Nov. 25, of 
that year. 

In 1781 he was elected President of 
Harvard College. Some of his lit- 
erary work was printed, but not 
much. He is set down as a sound 
Greek scholar and had prepared a 
Greek grammar, which he left in man- 
uscript. He held his position till 
death, which was at New Bedford, 
Sept. 25, 1804. 



FIRST GENERATIONS IN AMERICA. 



Rev. William Scott Southgate who 
compiled the history of Scarboro per- 
formed some labor on the gene- 
alogy of the Southgate fam- 
ily. iHe departed this life on 
Sunday, May 21, 1899, at Annapolis, 
Md., where he had been Rector of St. 
Ann's church for thicty years, leaving 
his genealogical collection with his 
niece, Mrs. Harriet A. (Southgate) 
Graham residing at West End, Va., 
from whom we have obtained the loan, 
and, havin,g made very many addi- 
tions — so many that the original is 
comparatively small — now present 
the whole to the public. 



John Southgate of Coombs, Suffolk 
County, England, was united in mar- 
riage with Elizabeth , of the 

same place. 

James Southgate, a son, came to 
New England and settled in Leicester, 
Mass., where he died, leaving no male 
issue. 

Another son of John was named 
Richard. He was born in Coombs, 
Eng., March, 1671, and married there 
Oct. 17, 1700, Elizabeth, daughter of 
William and Elizabeth Steward of 
Bridley, Eng., b. June 11, 1677. In 
1715, Richard came to this country 
with Daniel Denny, arriving in Bos- 
ton, Sept. 12. June 7, 1716, he return- 
ed to England, but came back the next 
year with Rev. Thomas Pierce, arriv- 
ing in Boston, July 20th. In 1718 he 
settled in Leicester, Mass., where he 
died April 1, 1758; his wife, Nov. 3, 
1751.

FIRST GENERATION IN MAINE. 






4.— DR. ROBERT SOUTHGATE. 



It is a family tradition that Dr, 
Soutligate arrived at Dunstan. June 
21, 1771, who was then thirty years of 
age lacking three months, horn at 
Leicester, Mass., Oct. 26, 1741, son of 
Steward and Sarah (Scott) Southgate, 
coming on horseback, his saddle-bags 
containing his entire personal outfit. 
What induced the Doctor to come hith- 
er is among the hidden things of the 
past. That no records of his career 
in early manhood were left to the pub- 
lic is a matter of regret. That the com- 
piler of the history of Scarboro did 
not say more relative to his ancestors 
and insert more genealogical notes in 
in his work is, at this date, a source of 
wonderment, but such things were 
not so much in demand as now, and 
people were then less inclined to pay 
for printing. 

It is apparent that Dr. Southgate 
upon arriving here engaged in trade 
of some sort; this the records show. 
Every shop and inn keeper then held 
a license to sell alcoholic liquors. In 
1771 his application was granted and 
renewed yearly till 1785. He was in 
company with one Samuel Southgate, 
but no records have yet been found 
showing the family relationship be- 
tween the two. Prior to the year of 
1774, however, Samuel Southgate had 
departed this life and Dr. Southgate 
was appointed and commenced actions 
in court as administrator against those 
indebted to Samuel's estate. Follow- 
ing is a copy of one record: 

"Whereas, Robert Southgate of 
Scarboro, in Our County of Cum- 
berland, Physician, and surviving 
Partner of the late Company of 
Robert & Samuel Southgate the 
said Samuel now deceased; by the 
consideration of our Justices of 
Our Inferior Court of Common 



Pleas holden at Falmouth with- 
in and for Our County of Cumber- 
land, aforesaid, on the last Tues- 
day of March, 1774, recovered 
judgment against John Milliken 
of Scarboro' aforesaid. Saddler, 
for the sum of Twenty-nine 
pounds," etc. 

In settlement the Doctor received 
an acre and half of land which was the 
first he received at Dunstan. 

Nov. 15, 1748, "Richard King of 
Scarboro, gentleman," purchased the 
Nathan Knight house lot at Dunstan, 
(Nathan Knight, who was noticed in 
our Dunstan articles), located on the 
easterly side of the road leading to 
the "Landing." Mary, the second 
child of Richard King in a family of 
nine children by two wives, became 
the wife of Dr. Southgate. 

The exact time Dr. Southgate left 
the practice of medicine and adopted 
that of farming and became also a 
counsellor at law we cannot state. 

In 1800 he was appointed a Judge 
of the Court of Common Pleas which 
position he held ten years. 

In the years of 1807-8-9 he erected 
"Dunstan Abbey," located a little 
easterly of the parting of the highway 
leading to Portland from Dunstan Cor- 
ner — a large, brick, two story dwell- 
ing, long ell, large barn and all the 
other buildings necessary to make 
complete a not only first class farm 
house but at that time a genteel ap- 
pearing residence. But it seems the 
house was in the prospective quite a 
while before it was commenced. In 
the work entitled "A Girl's Life Eighty 
Years Ago," made of letters of Eliza 
(Southgate) Bowne, a daughter of the 
Doctor, under date of New York, July 
8, 1803, an allusion is made as follows: 
"How comes on the new house? We 
are to come as soon as ever that is

DUNSTON ABBEY."

finished. If you choose to send so 
far, I will purchase any kind of furni- 
ture you wish, perhaps cheaper and 
better than you can get elsewhere." 
At another time she writes her par- 
ents she is ashamed of the old house. 
Our authority for the assertion it was 
commenced in 1807 is a statement 
made by Hon. Seth Scammon. It now 
remains as originally constructed and 
in its history a wonderment to the 
stranger who passes, and ten years 
ago, or thereabouts, when we first 
visited the premises, they were owned 
by Mr. Scammon, who had occupied 
the "Abbey" since 1864 when he and 
Ezra Carter, the first of Saco, the last 
of Portland, purchased the home farm 
and seven other pieces of real estate 
of the heirs of Horatio Southgate, who 
received the property by will from the 
Doctor, who was the father of Horatio, 
paying $18,000 — the homestead of Ho- 
ratio Southgate at Portland not being 
included in the $18,000 sale. 

It was in front of or adjacent the 
"Abbey" that Andrew Alger resided 
when he was murdered by the Indians 
two hundred and twenty-six years ago. 

Looking southward from the front of 
the "Abbey" countless acres of marsh 
land appear, a belt of English grass 
land intervening; beyond, the ocean; 
while both sides, the scene is skirted 
by woodlands. Looking towards the 
southwest in the direction of the site 
of the King house, the land is undu- 
lating, and all, independent of the 
marsh, of a rich quality in fertility, the 
marsh prized higher by the first set- 
tlers than the up-land. But it was the 
northerly view, at the rear of the "Ab- 
bey," and much nearer, and far less 
in magnitude as to the question of 
number of acres, that attracted our 
special attention outside the historical 
consideration, where lofty evergreens 
had by the hand of Nature been placed, 
earth embankments, water-jets, rills, 
surface table rocks containing sculp- 
tured names of those whose "strife is 
past and triumph won" — reflections of 
Nature in all its miniature beauty by 



placid water, with stepping stones 
naturally arranged, jvaths carpeted by 
the waste of trees, all canopied by out- 
stretching boughs of lofty specimens 
of monarchs of the forest. But a few 
years later when we again visited the 
scene — Alas! the venerable, long, 
white bearded Saco school master, like 
the builder of the "Abbey" had been 
called — obeyed — and the woodsman 
axe in hand, had come and felled the 
trees; so where natural beauty once 
abounded and there were expressions 
of glee in the early history of the Ab- 
bey and its surroundings and echoes 
from the lofty tree-domes, the evil 
spirit of the Indian of two centuries 
had appeared and permeated the 
minds of the lords of the land in the 
manner we here indicate. And now — 

" We search the world for truth, we call 
The irood, the pure, the beautitiil 
From Lcravestone and written scroll, 
From all old flower-fields ot the Soul." 

and here present the record as we see 
it. 

Hark! The voice of the Indian or 
something else. Do you hear it? 

" Who wants recorded family rec- 
ords?" "Let the dead bury the dead." 
"Who wants eternal sunshine or show- 
er?" "Who would fix forever the love- 
liest cloud-work of an autumnal sun- 
set, or hang over the earth an everlast- 
ing moonlight? Give us desolation!" 

The echo — two hundred years earl- 
ier — "Give us desolation!" 

For us let there be Nature's land- 
scape perpetually displayed, rational 
glee and its echo — in realization "the 
dream that lovers dream," for Nature's 
path leads up higher in thought,' and 
rational thought has made man what 
he is in his improved estate. 

" Earnest words must needs be spoken, 
When the warm heart bleeds or burns 
With its scorn ot Wrong- or pity." 



Within the cemetery enclosure at 
Dunstan, Soarboro, may he seen a 
tall, thick, white marble slah that dis- 
closes the date of the demise of Dr. 
Robert Southgate and wife Mary 
(King) Southgate, hut his name ia 



without a title. To other sources of 
information the cemetery visitor must 
look to ascertain "w*hat he was as re- 
gards his occupation. The face in- 
scription is as follows: 

ROBERT SOUTHGATE, 

died 

Nov. 2, 1833. 

Aged 92 years, 

MARY SOUTHGATE, 

died 

March 30, 1824, 

Aged 68 years. 



The hacik of the slah points to an- 
other story — a story with many 
branches — the story of ten children 
whose names are inscribed, time of 
demise and ages, but there were 
twelve, two that did not receive names 
before they were called away. 

Clustering around the parental 
record stone are five others bearing 
the name of South gate — then the long 
row of Horatio's wives and children 
in another place.

rSABELLA SOUTHGATE. 

4. — Isabella Southgate (Boyd), b. 
March 29, 1779, daughter of Dr. Rob- 
ert and Mary (King) Southgate, m. 
Jan. 24, 1796, Joseph Coffin Boyd, b. 
at Newburyport, Mass., 1760, son of 
James Boyd of Boston, Mass. His 
mother iwas a sister to the Rev. Paul 
Coffin of Buxton. James C. and broth- 
ers were aU brought up to mercantile 
pursuits, and all left home young. One 
became a clergyman; one went to In- 
dia, where he joined the English army, 
upon returning he engaged in the 
cause of his country and became a 
Brigadier in the war of 1812-15. 

Robert came to Portland first, then 
Joseph C, and they engaged in trade 
on the corner of Exchange and Mid- 
dle streets, where the "Boyd Block" 
appears. 

Joseph C. first resided on Pleasant 
street, where the fi,rist children were 



born, in a house that Dr. John Merrill 
sold as guardian to the Boyd children 
in 1833 to Joseph Adams for $1,600; 
he resided second in the large three 
story residence numbered 65 situated 
on the northerly side of Spring street 
which he built where Dr. John Merrill 
later resided whose heirs still retain 
and occupy the premises. 

In September of 1798 a military 
company was organized in Portland 
and adopted the name of "The 
Portland Federal Volunteers," with 
Joseph C. Boyd serving as Captain. 
'^The company offered its services to 
John Adams, Esq., President of U. S. 
A., to be ready whenever called upon 
by him in defence of a just cause of 
their country." The proposition was 
accepted by the Secretary of War 
Nov. 6, 1798. Uniforms: "Short 
Red Coat with blue facings; white 
pantaloons and vest; black y^ gai- 
ters; cap trimmed with bear-skin, in 
front of which a plate representing a 
star with the letters P. F. V." 

"On the 25th of June, 1799, an ele- 
gant standard was presented in front 
of the Longfellow mansion on Con- 
gress street by Miss Zilpha Woods- 
worth in behalf of the Ladies of Port- 
land." 

September 1st, 1800, the company 
met to offer their services to the 
President as a company of Light In- 
fantry, Joseph C. Boyd — ^Captain. 
July 4th, 1801, their services were ac- 
cepted, when Joseph C. Boyd was 
made Major. 

In 1800 Joseph C. went to Friance 
where he remained a year and a half. 
Upon his return he became a Notary 
Public. In 1812 we find him as clerk 
of the court of Common Please. He 
served also in the Custom House as 
deputy several years. 

In 1820 he became State Treasurer, 



II 



whlcli position he held at the time of 
his death.

m. Llody Tilghman. 



Miss Isabella Southg'ate was a pupil 
in 1793 at Leicester, (Mass.) Academy. 
From on address delivered In 1847 by 
Rev. Dr. Pierce of Brookline, Mass., 
who had been an assistant, we extract 
the following: 

"Miss Isabella Southgate, from 
Scarboro, Maine, was a youth of trans- 
cendant beauty and accomplishments. 
Though in my class which I instructed 
at the university were Dr. Channing, 
Judge Story, and other respectable 
scholars, yet I have been in the habit 
of remarking, I never knew one male 
or female, of a more extraordinary 
mind than was evinced by that gifted 
young lady."

(N. H.) Academy with Henry Wads- 
worth; Joseph b. Buckminister, Augus- 
tine and Bushrod Washington, from 
Virginia; Daniel Webster and others 
as companions. From there he went 
to the law office of Salmon Chase of 
Portland. 

At the October term of court holden 
in New Gloucester in 1802 at the age 
ol 21 years and two months he was 
admitted to the Cumberland bar as a 
practitioner with an office Where the 
Canal Bank building is located in Port- 
land, and one at Dunstan Corner in 
Scarboro. 

In 1806 he purchased of Joseph Dil- 
lans a two story dwelling house and 
lot, which was his first venture in real 
estate, for which he paid $2,700, where 
he ever after resided while a citizen of 
Portland. The property was located 
on the southerly side of Pleasant 
street, is now owned and occupied by 
Moses H. Foster, proprietor of the 
Preble street dye-house and is num- 
bered 124. The front door was origin- 
ally in the end but Mr. Southgate had 
it changed to the side as now observ- 
ed. In it fifteen of the sixteen South- 
gate children were born — ^the other at 
Dunstan. 

In 1809 he was a bmstee of the Port- 
land Academy. 

In 1814 he was appointed County 
Treasurer. 

In 1815 he became register of the 
Probate (Court for Cumberland County 
and held the office twenty-one years. 

In 1818 he was one of the founders 
of the Portland Benevolent Society, 
and a member of the Board of Foreign 
Missions. 

In 1821 he was a member of the 
board of overseers of the Portland 
House of Correction.

In 1830 lie prepared the "Probate 
Manual," a work of much merit. 

In 1840 he was the Portland Demo- 
cratic candidate for mayor. The vote 
stood: 

Greeley, (Whig), 497 

Cutter, (Whig) 509 

Southgate, (Democrat) 702 

Scattering 9 

Total 1717 



Under date of April 17, 1840, Rey. 
Caleb Bradley records in his diary as 
follows: 

"Election in Portland, but no 
choice of mayor. Four candi- 
dates — two in each of the political 
parties. Whig candidates, Levi 
Cutter and Eliphalet Greeley; 
Tory [Democrat] Horatio South- 
gate and C. B. Smith. Thus they 
are divided in the city and so 
through the nation and a nation 
divided against itself cannot stand, 
and unless we become better unit- 
ed as a people our ruin is inevit- 
able; there is no help for it; noth- 
ing can save us but the blessed 
Influence of an overruling Provi- 
dence. Lord turn the hearts of 
the people. O. save us with an ev- 
erlasting salvation! These are 
days of calamities: we have 
brought down judgments, and 
more judgments are in reserve un- 
less prevented by repentance. We 
are a wicked nation and have for- 
gotten God and what He has done 
for us and our fathers — ^how lie 
drove out the heathen, or suffered 
them to be subdued in ord^r to 
make a way for our European fath- 
ers. We seem to have forgotten 
how He appeared for us in our 
struggles for independence. Now, 
God seems to be saving: 'Shall not 
my sonl be avenged on such a na- 
tion?"' 



In 1841 Horatio Southgate Esq., was 
again run and received 680 votes; 
Churchill, 710; scattering, 137; total, 
1527, and Southgate, "the Tory-Demo- 
crat" (according to Parson Bradley,) 
was beaten by the Whigs. 

Horatio Southgate, Esq., was three 
times married as follows:

1821, dau. of James and Abi- 
gail C. Neal of Portland. 
She d. Feb. 21, 1863, aged 66

After the death of his father (Nov. 
2, 1833,) Horatio Southgate, Esq., re- 
moved from Portland to Scarboro and 
Of^cupied "Dunstan Abbey," where he 
died Aug. 7, 1864, leaving a will that 
was destroyed in the Portland great 
fire of 1866. 

In the Dunstan cemetery is a row of 
Southgate white marble head-stones, 
including the monument of brown col- 
or, that is fourteen pa'?es long. There 
are thirteen of them and all of a size. 
The inscription upon the face side of 
the monument is as follows

of his family who 
are here interred. 



The south side contains a record 
of his own birth and time of death as 
it does his three wives, whose names 
we have presented. The other two 
sides are devoted to a record of his 
offspring.

ELIZA SOUTHGATE. 

6. — Eliza Southgate (Bowne), b. 
Sp'pt. 24, 1783, dau. of Dr. Robert and 
Mary (King) Southgate, was christen- 
ed by the name of "Elizabeth" and 
"Elizabeth" appears upon the back of 
her father's memorial at Dunstan 
cemetery, but the name appears in 
print as Eliza and her letters are 
signed Eliza so we will refer to her as 
Eliza, but of her natural and acquired 
accomplishments we cannot speak in 
a manner the subject demands. 

In 1888, 'Charles Scribner's Sons of 



I 



New York, printed selections of her 
correspondence in book form with au 
introduction, portraits and views, en- 
titled "A Girl's Life Eighty Years 
Ago." 

Her minature as well as her writ- 
ings represent her as a most charming 
young woman, who, like most of her 
name hereabouts, filled an early made 
grave. Of the ten pages of introduc- 
tion we can make but one brief extract 
as follows: 

"Love and friendship followed her 
wherever she went in her too brief 
span of life, and fortune heaped her 
girlish lap with all good things; but 
she showed herself worthy of her 
blessings and kept herself unspotted 
from the world." 

The book contains a fine minature 
of Walter Bowne which, with her de- j 
scription, present him as a charming 
man, who became her husband. He 
was a merchant doing business In 
New York city, and his people were 
Quakers. They met the first time in j 
the month of September of 1802, while 
both were making a pleasure tour of 
the state and each became at sight en- 
amored with the other. 

At Boston, Mass., May 30, 1803, she 
wrote her sister, Octavia (Southgate) 
Browne, from which letter we here 
make an extract: 

But I have not told you how 
General Knox found lis out at 
Newburyport. [The place of in- 
terment of Gen. Knox's remains 
is marked at Thomaston ceme- 
tery, this state, by a sunken grave, 
a small, inclining monument, en- 
closed by a rusty, tumble-down 
fence.] We always kept to our- 
selves, but in passing the entry 
Gen. Knox, who had just come in 
the stage, met Mr. Bowne and ask- 
ed where he was from; he told 
him from the Eastward. Alone? 
No. Who is with you? Mrs. Bowne. 
So plump a question he could not 
evade, so the General insisted on 
being introduced to the bride. I 
was "walking the room and read- 
ing, perfectly unsuspicious, when 
the opening of the door and 
Mr. Bowne's voice — 'General Knox, 
my love,' quite roused me; he 
oame up, took my hand very grace- 



14 



fully, pres't it to his lips and beg- 
ged leave to congratulate me on 
the event that had lately taken 
place. After a few minutes of 
conversation — 'And pray, sir,' said 
he, turning to Mr. Bowne — 'when 
did this happy event take place?" 
I felt my face glow, but Mr. Bowne, 
always delicate and collected, 
said — "Tis not a fortnight since, 
sir.' The stage drove up to the 
door, and after hoping to see us at 
Mrs. Carter's he took his leave, 
and this morning I found him wait- 
ing in the breakfast room to see 
me. He introduced me to General 
Pickney and his family from Caro- 
lina, — General Pickney, they say, 
is to be our next President. 'Mr. 
Bowne,' said General Knox to Gen- 
eral Pickney, 'has done us the 
honor to come to the District of 
Maine for a bud to transport to 
New York.' He was very polite 
and said 'he must find us out in 
New York.' Only think, I never 
thought of the wedding cake when 
I was in Salem. You would laugh 
to hear 'Mrs. Bowne' and 'Miss 
Southgate' all in a breath — 'How 
do you do. Miss Southgate? — I beg 
pardon, Mrs. Bowne,' an-d do it 
on purpose I believe; when I hear 
an old acquaintance call me 'Mrs. 
Bowne' it really makes me start 
at first, it sounds so very odd. Mr. 
Bowne will be in, in a minute — 
and if I don't seal my letter, he 
will insist on seeing it, so love to 
all. 

In a letter to her mother dated Aug. 
9, 1803. she says: "Only think, 'tis 
just a year today since we first saw 
each other, and here we are, married, 
happy, and enjoying ourselves in Beth- 
lehem. Memorable day!" (Bethle- 
hem, Pa., to which they had gone on 
account of yellow fever in N. Y.) 

As Mrs. Bowne's health was failing 
in 1808, it was thought best that she 
spend the winter in Charleston, S. 
C, to which place she went with Mr. 
William Browne and wife Octavia 
(Southgate) Browne, who was a sister 
to Mrs. Eliza Bowne, making the jour- 
ney by water. 

From the last letter written by her, 
dated Charleston, iS. C, Jan. 28, 1809, 
we present an extract as follows: 

"How are my dear little ones? I 
hope not too troublesome. Octavia is 



in fine health and grows quite fat for 
her. Frederick has been unusually 
troublesome. My dear little Walter! 
I hardly trust myself to think of them, 
— precious children — how th'='y bind 
me to life! Adieu." 

HON. WALTER BOWN'E. 

Hon. Walter Bowne, born at Flush- 
ing, iLong Island, N. Y., April 26, 1770, 
was a son of James Bowne of that 
town whose residence stood on the 
highway now known as "Broadway." 
His father was a farmer. 

From the Lawrence Genealogy 
compiled by Thomas Lawrence of 
Providence, R. I., printed in 1858, par- 
ticularly, from a newspaper article 
that appeared in "The Flushing Jour- 
nal" of Dec. 28, 1871, and various 
other sources, we have gleaned much 
pertaining to the ancient name, but 
can use only a little here. 

It appears that Thomas Bowne was 
born at Metlock, in Derbyshire, Eng- 
land, and baptized in May, 1.569. His 
son John was born in the same place 
and baptized March 9, 1627. There 
was a daughter, Dorothy, baptized 
Aug. 14, 1631, and the three came to 
this country, the children landing in 
Boston, Mass., 1649. June 15, 1651, 
John visited Flushing, and secured a 
title to 250 acres of land. May 7, 
1656, he was united in marriage with 
Hannah Field, daughter of Robert 
Field, and at once put up a small 
house which was supplemented in 
1661 by — strange as it may seem— the 
Bowne house as now seen on Bowne 
avenue, in the center of Flushing vil- 
lage, in good repair, owned by a des- 
cendant, and used as a museum build- 
ing which is open every afternoon to 
the public. His wife was the first to 
put on the drab, and in 1662 John 
Bowne was indicted "for the high 
crime of being a Quaker and thereby 
an enemy of Ood and the State." 

He had the choice of paying a fine 
of £25 or banishment, and he chose 
the latter, when he was sent across 
the seas to Holland, but the West 
India Company ordered his release. 



15 



refusing to recognize the Governor's 
course, Bowne going on foot and un- 
attended from ttie Irish coast to Am- 
sterdam to plead his case. In 1665 he 
was back to Flushing, but his wife 
had died in the month of February of 
the previous year in London, England, 
and his father, Thomas Bowne, had 
died in his son's Flus'hing home, dur- 
ing his son's abselce. 

His residence now became the 
headquarters of the Quaker sect, the 
present parlor of the house being used 
as the audience room of the sect, till 
near the year 1600, when a house was 
built for public worship which now 
stands, as originally constructed two 
centuries ago southerly of the Sol- 
dier's Monument on Broadway with 
a burying place attached. We 
cannot enumerate the articles the 
house contains, nor describe it outside 
or in, only say that the sofa, or 
couch, upon which John Fox rested, 
who was the Father of Quakerism, re- 
mains where Fox used it in 1672, or 
thereabouts, and where he addressed 
"many people many times." 

We have said that John Bowne mar- 
ried Hannah Field. Another record 
says her name was Hannah Bicker- 
staff, and after her, who died in Lon- 
don, Mary Cook became John's second 
wife. He died Oct. 20, 1695, aged 68, 
leaving thirteen children. 

John's son John succeeded him in 
the possession of the house, who was 
followed by his son John, then Rob- 
ert, the last John's son, then an- 
other John, making the fourth by the 
name of John who married Ann Field, 
the male line in the possession of the 
house stopping here. Mary, the daugh- 
ter of John and Ann Field, as his 
wife, married in 1784, ^Samuel Parsons, 
one of whose sons, Samuel B. Parsons, 
still surviving, resides upon a part 
of the parental acres, and before us 
is a manuscript letter recently written 
by him at the age of eighty-four, 
which for correctness in composi- 
tion and neatness in penmanship 
would do credit to an accomplished 



female seminary graduate. He is 
a practical horticulturist and nur- 
seryman, and a writer of high 
repute on horticultural subjects. 
We have visited his homestead 
grounds and ot)served the John Bowne 
house of 1661 many times. 

There is a town of Flushing, and a 
village of Flushing, the village is in- 
land and about six miles from New 
York city. The town land is good and 
farming is about the only industry, 
but since the establishment of rapid 
transit, the land in some parts is be- 
coming too valuable for farming pur- 
poses and is being cut up and used 
for residences. 

The place was "Tory" during the 
days of the Revolution, and at the 
close of the war many families re- 
moved to the British Provinces. 

In the matter of introduction of a 
popular school system Flushing was 
very slow. It was not till the year 
of 1814 that the first public school 
house was built. 

Of the school and boyhood days of 
Walter Bowne we have no means of 
ascertaining. He did not take to 
tilling the many acres of the ances- 
tral farm but to a traffic in hardware 
at the corner of Burling Slip and 
Water street in New York city with 
Richard T. Hallet as a partner. 

We have presented a glimpse of 
his meeting with Eliza Southgate, the 
marriage event, honeymoon, and her 
untimely death, so will pass on to the 
fact that he resided on Bleeker 
street. New York, but whether or not 
the house is intact we cannot say. 

In politics he was a Democrat and 
in 1816 was State 'Senator, a position 
he held several years. In the years of 
lS28-'29-'30 and '31 he served as Mayor 
of New York. 

At that time there was in New York 
a branch of the civil government 
known by the name of "^Council of Ap- 
pointments," with supreme powers, 
which filled all the offices from the 
highest to the lowest grade. Of this 
body Walter Bowne was a member in 



i6 



1821, when Fitz Greene Halleck, the 
poet and writer, addressed to him at 
Albany, N. Y., a "poem." commenc- 
ing as follows: 

" We do not blame you, Walter Bowne, 

For a variety of reasons. 
You're now the talk of half the town — 
A man of talent and renown; 

And will be for perhaps two seasons. 
That face of yours has ma<ric in it. 
Its smile transports us in a minute 

To pleasure's sunny bowers. 
But there is terror in its frown. 
Which, like the mower's scythe, cuts down 

Our city's loveliest flowers." 

***** 

His last office was that of Commis- 
sioner, appointed by the Washington 
Government to superintend the erec- 
tion of the New York Custom house. 

He was noted in his private and 
public dealings for scrupulous and ex- 
act dealings, descending to the small- 
est details. He acquired a large es- 
tate. In the time of his mayorality 
the city numbered 200.000 in popula- 
tion. 

In commemoration of the marriage 

event of his only son, Walter Bowne, 

Jr., which was in 1827, he erected on 

the easterly side of Broadway, at 

aing, a large residence which was 

.NTen the name of "Clifford," where 
he spent his summer months, a photo- 
graph of the premises being before 
us as we write, but the house is so 
shaded by trees along the drive-way 
we cannot here describe it. It went 
to his grandson, Simon Rapalye 
Bowne, which was used a spell, later, 
as a school for boys, since sold, and 
the lot cut up into house plots and the 
locality named "Bowne Park," the 
mansion presenting at this time the 
appearance of one who has seen 'bet- 
ter days. 

The original marriage record writ- 
ten on time-browned paper is now be- 
fore us and is as follows: 

Walter Bowne and Eliza South- 
gate, daughter of Robert and 
Mary Southgate, were married at 
Scarboro (Maine), May 17, 1803, 
by Nathan Tilton, minister of the 
Gospel at Scarboro. 

In Archdale Church yard, Archdale 
street, Charleston, S. C, may be seen 



a monument with an inscription as 
follows : 

Sacred 
to the memory of 
ELIZA S. BOWNE. 
Wife of Walter Bowne of New- 
York, Daughter of Robert South- 
gate, Esq., of Scarborough, Dis- 
trict of Maine, who departed 
this life on the 19th day of Feb- 
ruary, 1809, aged 25 years. 

[Since the above was prepared we 
have learned that the remains were 
removed from Charleston to a church 
vault in New York city thence to the 
Flushing, Long Island, N. Y. ceme- 
tery.] 

Walter Bowne died at his Bleeker 
street residence August 31, 1846, aged 
76 years. His remains were deposited 
in a New York church yard vault but 
were removed to the Flushing ceme- 
tery, where they repose.

OCTAVIA SOUTHGATE. 

7.— Octavia Southgate (Browne), b. 
Sept. 13, 1786, daughter of Dr. Robert 
and Mary (King) Southgate, has been 
noti-ced in our Browne articles in tks 
Naws as the wife of William Browne, 
son of Rev. Thomas Browne of the 
Stroudwater, or 4th Parish of Fal- 
mouth, now the First of Deering, 



William Browne, the youngest child 
of Rev. Thomas Browne, b. in the 
Woodfords district of Deering, March 

1, 1778, m. Nov. 28, 1805, Octavia 
Southgate, daughter of Dr. Robert 
Southgate of Dunstan Corner, Scar- 
boro, born there Sept. 13, 1786. 

When William Browne entered up- 
on his business career the future was 
bright. While with his cousin, Steph- 
en McLellan, for a business partner, 
and a young woman of position, and 
many personal charms, for a wife, he 



17 



purchased a lot and erected, or cam- 
menced, a dwelling on State street, 
now by far the finest street in Port- 
land if not the entire state, upon 
■which site, or adjacent the improsing 
Roman Catholic church edifice, where 
stood till recently the wooden build- 
ing constructed by the Catholics in 
1829-30, and dedicated Aug. 11, 1833, 
may now be seen. A copy of a daguer- 
reotype of Mr .Browne taken when 
he was aged, evidently when a 
wan countenance and a carelessness 
in dress had overtaken him, it is our 
good fortune to possess, abtained 
from Washington, D. C; and from 
the state of Texas a photograph of 
William's son William, one of the 
youngest in graduation at Bowdoin 
College — lawyer, Methodist preach- 
er, poet and editor who died in Texas, 
but we will forego for the present 
our own observations and present a 
copy of an article fortimately found 
in the Portland Advertiser of Nov. 16, 
1861, by Hon. Wm. Willis, one of Port- 
land's historians, entitled — 

WILLIAM BROWNE. 

"The injury received by Mv. Browne 
a day or two ago, in crossing the 
street, terminated fatally on Thursday 
morning. He died in his 83d year. 
We shall really miss Mr. Browne, for 
we scarcely even passed through the 
thoroughfares of our city without 
meeting this aged and genial citizen. 

"Mr. Browne was born in West- 
brook, (the part that is now Deering) 
March 1, 1779, and was the youngest 
son, and last surviving child of Rev. 
Thomas Browne, the first minister of 
Stroudwater parish, who was installed 
in 1765, and died in the pastorate, Oct. 
18, 1797. His other children were 
Capt. Thomas Browne, long an active 
and influential citizen of Portland, 
who died in 1849; Abigail, who mar- 
ried Maj. Hugh McLellan in 1872; 
lElizabeth married Archelaus Lewis, 
of Westbrook, and Rebecca, who mar- 
ried Capt. John L. Lewis of this city 
in 1802. 

"The subject of this notice first 
■went to school to a stern old fellow 
named McMahon, who kept at Wood- 
fords Corner, during the desolate con- 
dition of the Neck (Portland) after its 
destruction by the British. A number 



of boys were sent out there to him 
and boarded with Mr. Browne some 
of these were Thomas Robinson, John 
Deering and a son of Thomas Cum- 
mings. Young Browne afterwards 
went to school to Master Long, who 
kept in a building opposite the 2d 
Parish church, owned by Samuel Free- 
man; ,the postofiice was also there. 
All his companions in these schools 
with the teachers, have long since 
passed away, and this the youngest 
of their number frail and feeble al- 
ways, has lingered till now, and has 
at last been carried off by an untimely 
injury. 

"When a boy be was put into the 
store of Joseph McLellan & Son, 
which stood on Congress street just 
below where Blake's bake house 
stands (No. .532 Congress street.) 
They kept, as was the custom of the 
day, a general assortment of every- 
thing that would sell, and received in 
barter whatever v/as produced in the 
country. They kept there, doing a 
profitable business, which was already 
extending into shipping and foreign 
voyages, until about 1798, when they 
established themselves on Union 
wharf, just then built, and were exten- 
sively concerned in navigation, having 
large ships employed in the European 
trade. They built a shin about every 
year. The father, Joseph, came from 
Gorham, (Me.) and ibuilt in 1755 the 
house, a part of which is now stand- 
ing on the same lot and the first biiilt 
in this part of the town; he was also 
County Treasurer many years. The 
son Hugh was a most industrious man, 
being always a rival of the sun at his 
rost of dutv. He and his brother 
Stephen built in 1801, the large houses 
on High street, one now owned and 
occupied by Messrs. Wingate, built 
by Hugh, the other, owned and occu- 
pied by Mr. Noyes and Mr. Jose. 

"Mr. Browne in 1801 formed a busi- 
ness connection with Stephen McLel- 
lan, and they were the first occupants 
of thR store of Jones' Row, on the cor- 
ner of Fore and Exchange streets. He 
went to England the same year and 
purchased goods to the amount of 
$50,000; and so prosperous was the 
trade there, they were rapidly sold out 
and he went abroad again, partly to 
purchase goods and partly for his 
health, traveling on the continent. 
They soon moved to a larger store in 
the new block, which was built by 
ITsaac IllFley. and occupied partly for a 
Custom House, that being in the same 
room as now occupied by the Bank of 
Cumberland. To make way for this 



i8 



then elegant block, the house of Col. 
John Waite, sheriff of the county, was 
moved off, and now stands in a dilapi- 
dated condition, a third story added 
opposite Mr. Brown's sugar house; It 
was originally gamlbrel roofed. 

"In that place, they went down In 
the general crash of 1801, which over- 
whelmed all the principal merchants 
of the l;own — MdLellan & Son, Taber 
& Son, Weeks & Tucker, Webster, In- 
graham. Storers, etc. From the di- 
saster Mr. Browne never recovered, 
and being a permanent invalid he has 
been a wanderer after health and 
found it not, and has had but little 
profitable employment since that tixae; 
so that he has bad many years of 
struggle throaigh his long pilgrim- 
age; in narrow circumstances, but al- 
ways to his commendation be it 
spoken with a submissive, nay, cheer- 
ful spirit. He was ever a strictly con- 
scientious, upright man, and a sincere 
Christian professor; his life gave tok- 
en to his profession. 

"In ISO'o, Mr. Browne married Octa- 
via. daughter of Dr. Robert Southgate 
of Scarboro, who gave a grace and 
charm to society wherever they mov- 
ed, some sixty years ago. She bore 
him five children, two sons and three 
daughters; the sons only survive, and 
they have long lived far away, where 
their society and sympathy have failed 
to touch the parential bosom. One 
daughter married her cousin, Bishoip 
Southgate. The death of his wife, the 
sweet and cherished companion of his 
early years, coming with other sor- 
rows, seemed to leave the widowed 
hiusiband in utter loneliness; still he 
waited patiently for his own time, 
which he always trusted would be in 
God's good time. It has come a wel- 
com.e messenger; saying "come up 
higher." W. 



Several of Octavia's letters appear 
iTi the book entitled "A Girl's Life 
Eighty Years Ago," which show her 
as a woman of culture. William 
Browne and his wife Octavia accom- 
panied Mrs. Eliza (Southgate) Bowne 
on her fatal sea voyage to Charleston, 
S. C, and the contents of his first let- 
ter addressed to Dr. and Mrs. South- 
gate of Scarboro, dated at Charleston, 
Jan. 1, 1809, we will present, as fol- 
lows: 
Our Most Esteemed Friends: 

We have now been in the city a 



w»ek. We find that Eliza has galnei 
a little strength since she arrived, and 
hev cough is not quite so distressing 
ag before learlng New York. She 
complains of no pain, but her fever and 
night sweats continue to trouible her 
every other day and night, as was the 
case before. She can walk about her 
room with ease; and she rides When 
the weather is fine, which she is much 
pleased with, and no doulbt it is of 
great service to her. The streets are 
entirely of sand, as smooth as possible, 
no pavements, not a stone to be seen, 
which renders it very easy riding for 
her. It is as warm as our first of 
May, (if not the middle), and when the 
weather is fine, the air is clear, very 
mild and refreshing. The change is so 
great between this and New York 
that I cannot help thinking it must 
have a great and good effect on Eliza. 
I find as to myself that my cough is 
done away entirely, and I had a little 
of it most of the time at home in the 
winter. Octavia has certainly grown 
fat, and our little Frederick is certain- 
ly very well indeed. Eliza eats hom- 
iny, rice and milk, eggs and oysters 
cooked in various ways, vegetables, 
too, wTiich we find in great perfection 
here; fruit is plenty of almost every 
description. The oranges raised here 
are not sweet but are very large. The 
olives, grapes and figs are excellent. 
The meats and fish are not so good as 
ours. Their poultry is fine; a great 
plenty of venison, wild duck and small 
sea-fowl; green peas we shall have in 
about a month, so that, besides the 
change of climate, we have many of 
the luxuries of a Northern summer. 
Uncle King gave us letters to Gen. C. 
C. Pickney and his brother Maj. 
Thomas Pickney, — ^both of them "being 
out of town on their plantations, their 
sister, Mrs. Hovey, received the let- 
ters and has been very attentive and 
kind to us all. She is a widow, about 
fifty-five. I should judge, of the finest 
respecta.bility. and appears a very 
remarkable and pleasant, amiable and 
cheerful old lady. She sends some 
nice things to Eliza almost every day. 
Her daughter, Mrs. Ruthlege. two Miss 
Picknevs (daughters of the General), 
Mrs. Gilchrist and daughtpr, Mr. and 
Mrs. Mannigault, Mrs. Middleton, Mr. 
and Mrs. Izard, Mr. and Mrs. Dessault 
and Mr. Heyard make an extensive 
acquaintance for us. They all seem 
very kind and hospitable, plain and 
open in their manners, and yet of the 
most genteel and easy. Eliza has seen 
only Mrs. Hovey, Mrs. Ruthlege, and 
the two Miss Pickneys, but she thinks 



19 



in a few days to be able to receive 
short visits from her friends, and even 
thinks it may be of consequence to 
enliven her. She rides whenever the 
weather is fine, and is very much 
pleased with the appearance of every- 
thing growing in the gardens here like 
our June. We have had one visit from 
the physician only; he thinks taking 
a little blood from her will be of ser- 
vice, but she has not yet consented. 
He approved of her diet and of the 
■Iceland Moss tea which was recom- 
mended at New York, and which is 
said here to have had a great effect in 
removing complaints of a cough. Mrs. 
Mannigault told us yesterday she 
found immediate relief from it after 
she had been sick a long time. We 
expect Mr. Browne in the course of a 
fortnight, and then I shall return to- 
wards Scarborough immediately. We 
hope to hear from you in a few days; 
not a word have we yet from New 
York since we arrived. Our darling 
boy we think we see every day play- 
ing about us, without thinking who is 
admiring him at the distance of 1100 
miles. 
Our best wishes attend you always. 
Affectionately, 

W. Browne." 

The remains of Willam Browne 
were not interred by the side of his 
wife, whose remains lie near those 
of Capt. John L. Lewis, but upon the 
easterly side of the Eastern ceme- 
tery, where no memorial slab can be 
found, the spot not even being known. 

Octavia ( Southgate) Browne, wife of 
William Browne, son of Rev. Thomas 
Browne, died Jan. 9, 1815, aged 28 
years. And here we remark as we 
have before, the memorial slab not be- 
ing of a compact texture, but of a 
white sand-stone, the name is ex- 
tinct, but the epitaph, protected by 
the herbage of summer and snows of 
winter is still legible and reads as 
follows: 

Faith, Hope and Charity 

were hers thro yiace. 

May patience, submission anci consolation in Christ be 

ours till time and sorrow shall give place to eternal 

joy.

Rt. Rev. Horatio Soutligate, Jr. 
She was his first wife. 

(1.) William Gray Browne, son of 
William, and grandson of Rev. Thom- 
as Browne, graduated from Bowdoin 
'College in 1806, at the age of sixteen 
or thereabouts. He was remarkably 
smart as a scholar. Finding that his 
health was failing, at the age of nine- 
teen, he went to Washington, D. C, 
and found employment as a clerk but 
not relief for his declining health. 

From there he went to the south- 
western part of the state of Virginia, 
started a school and engaged also in 
mountain horseback riding. The air 
and exercise brought relief to his 
lungs, and he was ever after a well 
man. 

In 1826 he was a clerk in Tazwell 
Co.. Va., courts and where he engaged 
in other kinds of business, a student 
always and writing when at leisure 
for periodicals. A retentive memory 
being a direct gift he possessed, in 
consequence, a large storehouse of 
useful knowledge, but so modest and 
retiring was he in his ways that only 
those best acquainted with him knew 
the depth and compass of his intuitive 
knowledge of persons and causes. 
From Virginia he removed to Texas, 



20 



where he died at Dallas June, 1879, 
having served as clerk of courts in 
that state and where he lost his ac- 
cumulation of property through the 
war of the Rebellion. The following 
is taken from the Southern Christian 
Advocate. 

OBITUARY. 

Rev. George W. G. Browne was born 
in Portland, Me., in 1806. He was edu- 
cated at Bowdoin college and graduat- 
ed with great credit at sixteen years 
of age. He won for himself an envi- 
able place in a class composed of such 
men as Franklin Pierce, and Henry 
Longfellow. He moved to Tazwell 
County, Va., in 1826. There the energy 
and good character of the New Eng- 
land boy soon secured him permanent 
business. He was for a time editor 
of the Southwestern Advocate. He 
was married in 1835 to Miss Sarah 
Gillespie of Tazwell County and after 
the death of his wife, some ten years 
later, he married Miss Julia Chapman 
of Giles County. He raised a large 
family of children. In 1840 Mr. 
Browne, who had up to that time lived 
an unreligious life was converted, 
joined the Methodist Episcopal 
church South, and was soon licensed 
to preach the gospel of Christ, which 
he did till his death in all its beautiful 
somplicity, with spirit and power. He. 
like many another wayward boy, owed 
his conversion to his mother's prayers 
and home teachings. He said that 
when his mother came to die, she 
asked him to promise her that he 
would read the Bible every day. He 
gave the promise, which no doubt sent 
a thrill of joy to his dying mother, 
and, best of all, he kept his promise. 
God's word was ever a lamp to his feet 
and a light to his path. He moved 
to San Antonia, Texas, in 1857, and 
thence to Austin in 1862. A short 
time before he died he was out of 
employment, but he was not much 
disturbed. His trust in God was as 
simple and beautiful as that of a lit- 
tle child. The church and the Sab- 
bath school have sustained an irre- 
parable loss in his death. He il- 
lustrated in his life the beauties of the 
religion which he taught. He died in 
Dallas, Texas, June 20, 1879. A short 
time before his demise he said: "It's 
all right with me whether I live or 
die; I leave myself in my Master's 
hands." Again, in answer to the 



question whether Jesus was precious 
to him ,he said: "Yes, very precious, 
and I feel He is very near me." 



By his first marriage he had one 
daughter and two sons as follows: 

1. — ^Ellen Octavia, m. James Whitten 
of Virginia, who d. leaving her 
with a son George and daughters 
Mary and Sadie, all of whom mar- 
ried. The widow married William 
Whitten, cousin to her first hus- 
band. She was highly educat- 
ed. 

2. William Henry. He was a West 
Point cadet of much promise, but 
left and joined the Confederates 
and was shot and mortally wound- 
ed while leading a regiment in a 
charge against the Union forces, 
the second year of the war — aged 
22 years. 

3. David McComas was educated 
at Lexington, Va. He was reading 
law when he died at San Antonia, 
Texas, aged 19 years. 

The second wife, Julia Chap- 
man, had two sons and four 
daughters, as follows: 

4. Tennie, m. Joe Young; had 
three daughters, all pupils in the 
Methodist College at Dallas, Tex- 
as. The mother was a bookkeeper. 
(This was 15 years ago.) 

5. Frederick Edward, d. aged three 
years. 

6. Hannie, m. J. S. Burton of Dal- 
las, Texas, manager of the West- 
ern Union Telegraph of that 
place. She died 1879 without 
issue. 

7. Kizzie C, m. in 1879, at Austin, 
S. Y.Swenson, a Swede by birth. 
He was first a banker in New 
York city, but removed to Texas, 
with the view of regaining his 
health and engaging in stock 
raising, but he soon died leaving 
a widow and one child, five years 
old, named William Gray. She, our 
correspondent, some years since. 
Before marriage she was a teach- 
er in the blind asylum, then in a 
graded school at Austin. 

8. Bettie. She a public school 
teacher in Austin.

The last wife of Rev. Mr. Browne 
died in April of 1874 — "a auiet, mod- 
est, lovely, Christian woman," after 
an illness of eight years. The Rever- 
end was engaged in writing a novel 
at the time of his death. A photo 
of him is now before us. 

(2.) Of the descendants of Frederic 
6. Browne, second child of William 
and Octavia (Southgate) Browne and 
grandson of Rev. Thomas Browne we 
know but little. Frederic married in 
[Louisville, Ky., Miss Cynthia Eliza 
Denny, daughter of Maj. James Wil- 
kinson Denny, an officer in the Mexi- 
can war and a lawyer afterward of 
note, who died in early manhood while 
filling the olfice of Attorney General 
for the state. For a period of nineteen 
years he held the position of bookkeep- 
er for the Louisville Journal when 
George D. Prentiss was editor. He 
was a man of modesty and retiring 
manners and delicate in health. In 
1850 his wife died leaving six chil- 
dren when he removed to New Oi'- 
leans where he held till his death a 
similar position on the Delta as that 
at Louisville, and where his health 
was improved. 

During the war of the Rebellion, for 
reasons growing out of it, by an act 
of the State Legislature, upon his pe- 
tition, the surname of his father was 
dropped and that of his mother adopt- 
ed. A son resides in Washington, D. 
C, while other children dwell in 
Louisville, Ky. 



FREDERICK SOUTHGATE. 

9. — Frederick Southgate, b. August 
9, 1791, son of Dr. Robert and Mary 
(King) Southgate, graduated from 
Bowdoin College, class of 1810, and 
while reading law in Portland the 
earnest preaching of Rev. Edward Pay- 
»on, to whom he listened, so changed 
his plans that he concluded to pre- 
pare for the ministry, and at once com- 
menced preacbing himself, at the same 
time studying diriulty with Rev. Mr. 
Payson, when he was chosen a tutor of 



Bowdoin College, but his days of use- 
fulness were few in numTjers. Quick 
consumption seized him and he died 
under the parental roof. 

His memorial slab at Duasfan is In- 
scribed as follows:

ARIXENE SOUTHGATE. 

10. — ^The marriage Intention be- 
tween Miss Arixene iSouthgate and 
Henry Smith, she b. Sept. 17, 1793, 
daughter of Dr. Robert and Mary 
(.King) Southgate, was recorded in 
Portland, Jan. 31, 1813. 

She died Dec. 6, 1820, aged 27 
years. 



John Smith was born in 
Plainfield, Connecticut, where he 
was united, June 25, 1699, in 
marriage with Miss Susanna Hall, 
daughter of Stephen Hall. Their son 
Lemuel was born there February 25, 
1711, who married in 1736, Martha 
Coit, daughter of Rev. Josepli and 
Experience (Wheeler) Coit. Their 
son, named John, (born at Sterling, 
(another record says Stonington.) 
Conn., March 7, 1749, graduated from 
Princeton College, 1770, and became a 
clergyman. He married July 3, (or 8), 
1773, Alice Andrews, daughter of EI- 
banah and Alice (Beals) Andrews. 

Rev. John Smith was for many 
years pastor of the Congregational 
church in Dighton, Mass., where a 
large family of both sons and daugh- 
ters were born. In 1802 he removed 
to Canandaigua, N. Y., from there to 
the state of Pennsylvania, thence to 
Kentucky. 

One of the sons of Rev. John Smith, 
named Isaac, a clergyman, made a 



22 



first home for himself in Gilmanton, 
N. p., where he resided twenty years. 
Another son was Judge Smith of 
Plainfield, N. H., for some years a 
trustee of Dartmouth College. The 
other children of Rev. John Smith 
made homes in Kentucky and Illinois, 
excepting Henry, born in the town of 
Dighton, Mass., Dec. 10, 1783, who 
came to Portland and engaged in trade 
but failed in business. He then be- 
came superintendent of a cotton mill 
at Saccarappa village, a village situ- 
ated in the town of Westbrook, seven 
miles from Portland, where he took 
an active part in municipal and church 
matters, exerting a salutary influence 
for good in both respects. 



erty in 1759 to William Vaughan, Wil- 
liam removed from there to Portland.] 



Prior io April 18, 1819. John May- 
nard had departed this life leaving five 
dhildren, two of age and three minors. 
His family last resWed in the town of 
Scarboro, in the Vaughan mansion 
house, constructed of great oak tim- 
ber, that was situated upon the south- 
erly side of the highway leading from 
Dunstan to Portland via Oak Hill, 
about a third of the way from the Hill 
going towards Dunstan. It is tradi- 
tional the house at the time was the 
oldest in the town, and was used as a 
garriison, where many children were 
born during the troublesome Indian 
times. The residence of the Warren 
Brothers now occupies the site of the 
Vaughan mansion, and the frame of 
the residence of the Warrens' is con- 
structed of that of ithe ancient abode. 

[Elliot Vaughan, becoming tired of 
s«a life, he being a mariner, removed 
from Portsmouth in 1742 to Scarboro, 
and located upon a large and valuable 
tract of land he inherited from Robert 
Elliot who was his grandfather, Elliot 
making a will in 1718. (See Maine 
Wills, page 255.) 

Elliot Vaughan was a son of Lieut.- 
Gov. George Vaughan of Portsmouth, 
N. H. V ^^.^ 

The administrator upon the Elliot 
Vaughan estate sold the Dunstan prop- 



In the month of April, 1819, Andrew 
Retchie, Esq., a lawyer of Boston, ap- 
pointed iCapt. Thomas Browne, a mer- 
chant of Portland, who has been notic- 
ed in the News, as his attorney to act 
in his stead in order to make sale of 
certain real estate located in Scar- 
boro, "being the same lately improved 
by John Maynard, deceased, and which 
was devised by Ck)rnelius Durant of 
Boston, iMass., deceased, to the use of 
said Maynard for life, then to his five 
children." Retchie was the guardian 
to the three children under age, named 
respectively as follows: William L., 
— 'though the "L." does not appear, — 
Edward and Maria Caroline. The two 
children having arrived at lawful age 
were named Sally and Thomas. Sally 
became the second wife of Henry 
Smith, and Maria Caroline the wife ef 
Gen. Neal Dow of Portland. 

The sale was made by Caipt. Browne 
for $2,500 to Seth Storer, Jr., Esq., a 
lawyer of Biddeford and Ichabod Jor- 
don, consisting of "400 acres of marsh 
and upland known as Vaughan's Neck, 
120 acres marsh and upland known as 
the Vaughan home farm, 'being the 
same Cornelius Durant purchased of 
Vaughan Sept. 9, 1797;' also 64 acres of 
upland and marsh, being the home- 
stead of the late €apt. Nathaniel Har- 
mon." 

Upon the "Vaughan home farm" in 
the "garrison house" John Maynard, 
his wife, and five children resided, 
Sally, the daughter, having been born 
on the island of St. Croix, all removing 
from there to Boston, Mass., thence to 
Scarboro. 

The eldest of the three living chil- 
dren of Henry Smith was nine years 
old when Sally Maynard became the 
stepmother of the Smith children. She 
proved to be a woman of sagacity and 
well adapted to the training of chil- 
dren; she was, withal, a woman of 
culture.

"The Reminiscences of Gen. Neal 
Dow," published in 1898, lets in, on 
(page 82, some light upon the Maynard 
(family in addition to what we present 
above. We make a condensed abstract, 
as follows: 

"When not quite twenty-six years of 
ege," writes Gen. Neal Dow, the 
apostle of total prohibition for the 
diquor traffic by legislative restraint, 
"I married Maria Cornelia, [previously 
(noticed as Maria Caroline] Durant 
Maynard, on the 20th of Jan, 1830. My 
wife's father, John Maynard, was born 
in Framingham, Mass., in 1766, where 
the family had lived two or three gen- 
erations, the first John Maynard hav- 
ing come from England about 1660. 
My wife's father went to St. Croix 
■when a youth, there met, and, in 1789, 
(married her mother, Mary Durant, 
'born on the Island of St. Croix in 1771, 
-who was a daughter of Thomas Du- 
rant, then in business in St. Croix. 
They remained there till 1800 when 
they came to Boston, Mass., where the 
youngest child Cornelia Durant May- 
nrd was born, June 18, 1808. At the 
age of four her mother died, and she 
"went to Boston to reside with an aunt. 
After the marriage event of Sally 
Maynard iwith Henry Smith, Cornelia 
went to reside with her, being Mrs. 
'Smith's junior by thirteen years." 

After the death of Henry Smith the 
widow removed to Portland and re- 
sided in a one story house that stood 
on the westerly side of Dow street and 
(next in the rear of the Neal Dow resi- 
dence, the Smith house standing orig- 
inally, -we are told, on Exchange 
street, and was used as an insurance 
office. It had iprojecting eaves support- 
ed by pillars and was painted white, 
the Iblinds green, forming as a whole 
an attraction to the passer-by in con- 
sequence of its uniqueness, the house 
Slaving been removed since the death 
of the widow. Of its appearance on 
iExchange street or where it was situ- 
ated we have no knowledge. 

In the village cemetery at Saccar- 
rappa may be seen a small sized white 
marble monument inscribed as fol- 
lows:

Portland, where William Pitt Fessen- 
den, U. S. Senator and U. S. Treasur- 
er resided — ^a fine, airy specimen of 
ye olden time with large, neatly kept 
grounds, now occupied and owned by 
U. S. District Judge — the Hon. William 
h. Putnam. Judge Mellen died in 
1841, but not in the large house he had 
constructed, nor in the smaller one 
on the opposite side of the way, but 
in Mrs. Jones' celebrated boarding 
house that stood on the southwester- 
ly corner of Park and Congress 
streets, which we exhibited in a for- 
mer article in connection with the 
name of Capt. Thomas Browne, who 
occupied the premises a hundred 
years since. 

Grenville Mellen was born in Bidde- 
ford June 19, 1799, graduated from 
Harvard College in 1818, resided in 
I'ortland in 1823, removed to North 
Yarmouth where he remained five 
years. He was a remarkably bright 
young man and was the intimate of the 
first literary men of the country, and 
his writings had a wide circulation. 
He was author of many odes, ly- 
rics and books of prose — "Two Hun- 
dred Years Ago" being considered his 
best poem. (See "The Poets of 
Maine," published in 1888.) We 
find the following titles to his printed 
work: 

1821 — "An address delivered be- 
fore the Maine Charitable Me- 
chanic's Association for the 
benefit of the Apprentice's Li- 
brary." 



1825- 



1825- 



1826- 

1826- 
1828-

the Battle of Bunker Hill at 
the monumental stone," June

-"Address delivered before the 
citizens of North Yarmouth 
on the Anniversary of Ameri- 
can Independence." July 4. 

-"The Rest of the Nation"— a 
poem. 

-"Our Chronicle" — a poem. 

-"Sad Tales, and Good Tales." 

-"The Red Rover." 



1831 — Ode— sung at North Yar- 
mouth. 

1832— "The Martyr's Triumph," 
"Buried Valley" and other 
poems — 300 pages. 

1836— "The Ruin of a Night"— an 
ode. 

1839 — "Thoughts on viewing the 
mansion of Gen. Knox." 



Gen. Knox, Washington's Secretary 
of War, spent his last days on earth 
and died at Thomaston, this State. The 
brick building he constructed for his 
servants is now used as a waiting room 
by the Kjiox and Lincoln railroad. We 
recently visited the spot. The resi- 
dence stood a few rods southeasterly. 



Young Mr. Mellen, it appears, was 
most deeply devoted to his wife and at 
her decease and that of her child, so 
early in lire — May 13,1829 — three years 
after the marriage event, a cloud of 
melancholy came over him from which, 
it is said, he never fully emerged. He 
went to New York city, where he died 
Sept. 6, 1841. His remains were plac- 
ed in a tomb of St. Mark's church 
yard, and later in the same year they 
were removed to the Steward vault 
under St. Luke's church; and in 1890 
were forwarded to Portland by his 
nephew, Mr. A. H. Gilman, care of 
Henry Deering, Esq., and were in- 
terred by Mr. S. S. Rich, undertaker, 
in the presence of Mr. Deering and 
others, in the family lot in the West- 
ern cemetery of Portland, where there 
is a large monument. 

An oil painting of him that has been 
knocked about considerably may be 
seen in the Maine Historical Society 
rooms, Portland. 

The memorial slab of the wife of 
Grenville Mellen and child may be 
seen at Dunstan, Scarboro, inscribed 
as follows: 

The Remains 

of 

MARY KING SOUTHGATB 

MELLEN, 



25 



■wife of Grenvllle Mellen, 
who died 13th May, A. D., 1829, 
aged 30 years. 

And of 
their infant, 

Octavia Grenville Mellen, 
who died 23d Sept., A. D., 182S. 
Aged 11 months. 

The flower and the bud were both beautiful — 
and they were borne from earth to Heaven 
before decay had marred either the promise or 
the bloom. 



The monument of Judge Mellen is 
inscribed as follows: 

ERECTED 
By the Bar of Maine, 

To the memory of 

PRENTISS MEDLEN, 

First Chief Justice of the Supreme 

Judicial Court of this State. 

The east side is inscribed as follows: 
Hon. Prentiss Mellen, LL. D., 

Born at Sterling, Massachusetts, 
Oct. 11, 1764. 



Graduated at Harvard College, 

Senator of the United States, 

Appointed Chief Justice 1820, 

Died Dec. 31, 1840. 

Back side: 

GRENVILLE MELLOEJN, 

son of 

Hon. Prentiss Mellen, 

June 19, 1799, 

Sept. 6. 1841. 

The enclosure is neglected. The iron 
fence is covered with rust, and three 
head-stones lie flat. The very appar- 
ent neglect everywhere seen through- 
out the cemetery, while taxpayers's 
money is so lavishingly spent, if not 
squandered, on another cemetery of 
the city is a perpetual reproach upon 
the city government of Portland, and 
we hope to see the unfeeling neglect 
obviated in the near future, and the 
rules of economy adopted.

THIRD GENERATION. 



THE BOYD FAMILY. 

1.— Mary Southgate Boyd, b. in 
Portland, Jan. 20, 1797, eldest child 
of Josepli C. and Isabella (Southgate) 
Boyd and a granddaughter of Dr. 
Robert Southgate, m. Sept. 26, 1820, 
Dr. John Merrill, b. in Conway, N. H., 
son of Thomas Merrill and his fourth 
wife, who was Widow Elizabeth 
(Abbott) Cummings. Benjamin Mer- 
rill, brother of Dr. John, was a law- 
yer in Salem, Mass., where he died 
unmarried. Thomas, the father, seems 
to have been of a roving nature and 
died in the autumn of 1789. aged 65 
years. [See p. 178, vol. 3, Me. His. 
and Gen. Recorder.] 

Dr. Merrill fitted for college at 
Exeter Academy, graduated at Har- 
vard, studied medicine under Dr. 
Warren of Boston and graduated from 
Harvard Medical school in 1807, and 
was a member of the Massachusetts 
Medical Society. 

He was appointed guardian of the 
minor children of Joseph C. Boyd 
(father to his wife) and occupied the 
Spring street Boyd residence, the title 
to which is still in the Merrill name. 
He was senior warden to St. Luke's 
church — the only office of which we 
find a record that he filled. His name 
appears as one of th>? founders in 
1851. 

He d. May 27, 1855, aged 73 yrs., 6 
mos. She d. April, 1861, aged 64 
years. 

The Merrill burial place is in Ever- 
green cemetery, the lot enclosed by 
an Arborvitae hedge, within which 
are various designs, sizes and patterns 
of lettering memorial stones. 



The epitaph on Dr. Merrill's is as 
follows: 

I look for the Resurrection of the dead and the Life 
of the world to con:ie. 

That of his wife, as follows: 

Having' the testimony of a t^ood conscience in the 
communion of the Catholic church ; in the confidence 
of a certain faith ; in the comfort of a reasonable, re- 
litrious, and holy home, in favor with thee our God, 
and in perfect charity with thy word.

6 — Samuel Stillman Boyd, b. March 
27, 1807, son of Joseph C. and Isabel- 
la (Southgate) Boyd (and bro. to No. 
5, next above) graduated from Bow- 
doin College in the class of 1826. His 
name stands at the head of the roll 
of that year. He then went to Cin- 
cinnati where his cousin, Bellamy 
Storer, was in practice and read law 
with him two years, from which place 
he went to Missiasippi. In his first 
case in court he introduced points of 
law the court had not heard of which 
the judge sustained thus making him 
famous in that region. He grew in 
public favor rapidly, so that, in 1832, 
at the age of twenty-live, the office of 
Attorney General was tendered him, 
but he declined the offer. In 1837 he 
became a citizen of Natchez, and held 
for a while a seat on the Supreme 
court bench of the state. He often 
met in the forum his classmate at col- 
lege, Sargent S. Prentiss, one of the 
most gifted orators Maine has pro- 
duced, who was born at Gorham, this 
state. In the knowledge of law, by 
direct gift, and studious study, in 
deep reasoning and flights of speech, 
he was Prentiss' peer. He was In 
politics a Whig, and in 1852 President 
Fillmore urged his name for a seat 
upon the U. S. Supreme court bench. 
He performed a large amount of 
work, retired from active business 
with a fortune, indulged in literary 
pursuits and the pleasures of being 
with his children. A photo of him 
appearing in the history of Bowdoin 
College shows a face of finely cut 
features.

Richard Tilghman, an eminent sur- 
geon of London, Eng., with his wife 



29 



and two children, a son and daugh- 
ter, emigrated to America in 1660 and 
settled at the place to which he gave 
the name of "Hermitage," situated on 
Charles river, in Queen Ann's County, 
Maryland. They had many children, 
all of whom died young excepting 
Maria, b. 1655, and Richard, born at 
the iHermitage in 1672. Their re- 
mains are in the family burying- 
groiind, including the father, who died 
Jan. 7, 1675, still in use, the memorial 
slab of the father ibeing inscribed in a 
very qxiaint manner. His son, Rich- 
ard, had a large share in the manage- 
ment of the colony. 

In 1717 he was Judge of the Provin- 
cial Court; and in 1721 was selected 
"Keeper of the Great Seal of the Prov- 
ince." He had live sons, who became 
men of distinction. 

Matthew Tilghman, b. Feb. 17, 1718, 
son of Richard, was highly educated 
for that period, and possesses a 
glorious record as a statesman and 
Patriarch of Maryland during the days 
of the Revolutionary war. His name 
stands at the head of nearly every 
important committee and delegation 
of that period of that state. He died 
May 4, 1790, leaving four children, 
Lloyd being the second child and sec- 
ond son who inherited the homestead 
of his father. He was born July 27, 
1749. His son, James Tilghman, 
was born Feb. 5, 1793, married Ann C. 
Shoemaker and died in 1868. Their 
son, Lloyd Tilghman, was born Jan. 
28, 1816. He graduated from West 
Point Military Academy, class of 1836, 
and served in the Mexican war as 
Captain of a Maryland and District of 
Columbia Artillery company. The 
war being over he tendered to the 
General Government his commission 
to become an assistant engineer of the 
Panama railroad survey, after which 
he was chief of many railroad surveys 
in the Southern states. At the oreaKT 
ing out of the war of the States he ac- 
cepted a commission of the rank of 



Brigadier General of the Confederate 
Army, and as a soldier, it is claimed, 
none braver wore the gray. When 
the Union forces of the North 
captured Fort Henry, Feb. 6, 1862, he 
was in command. He made a stub- 
born resistance and with only a small 
force covered the retreat of the garri- 
son, which he had sent over to Fort 
Donaldson under command of Col. 
jHindman. He was captured, but ex- 
changed and then took an active part 
in the operations around Vicksburg 
where he was killed in the battle of 
Champion Hills May 16, 1863, while 
covering Pemberton's retreat into 
Vicksburg, receiving the thanks of 
President Davis for manifest skill and 
bravery displayed. 

In Potter's American Monthly 
Magazine of History for June of 1876, 
an interesting and carefully prepared 
article may be seen entitled Matthew 
Tilghman, which we shall place in the 
archives of our Maine Genealogical 
Society, catalogued as "The Tilghman 
Genealogy." The article contains 
two cuts.

ABIGAIL B. SOUTHGATE. 

3. — Abigail Browne Southgate, b. in 
Portland, Oct. 28, 1809, dau. of Horatio 
and Abigail (McLellan) Southgate, 
and granddaughter of Dr. Robert 
Southgate, m. Jan. 19, 1831, John Bar- 
rett, M. D., of Portland. 



Dr. Barrett was born in Northfield, 
Mass., Feb. 21, 1802, and was a son 
of John Barrett, Esq., and wife Martha 
Dickinson of that town. Esquire Bar- 
rett was a graduate of Harvard Col- 
lege, and became a lawyer. 

John Barrett, Jr., graduated from 
Bowdoin College, class of 1821, and 
studied medicine under Dr. John Mer- 
rill of Portland and Dr. Geo. C. Shat- 
tuck of Boston, Mass., then com- 
menced practicing in Portland which 
was continued till near the time of his 
death. He resided in the two story 
house, as now observed, with end to 
street, unchanged in outward appear- 
ances since it was vacated by the doc- 
tor, and is ine next building southerly 
of the Methodist meeting house situat- 
ed upon the easterly side of Chestnut 
street, Por^and. 

He was a man of superior ability, 
social, benevolent and liberal in every 
respect. When he visited Broad's 
inn— the fashionable resort of the time 
—the boy who hitched his horse or set 
up the pins in the bowling alley was 
always sure of pay for services ren- 
dered. Though sixty years and more 
have passed since the tamed bear was 
killed, the bar-room closed, and the 
latch string of the inn pulled in, there 
are a few men now who were boys 
then and who still remember some of 
the scenes at Broad's. Not long since 
we listened to a description of a few. 
The person who related them was a 
participant. He spoke particularly of 
Dr. Barrett and said: "He came out 
once with a small gunning party and 
invited another boy and me to accom- 
pany him to the woods. Soon he fired 
and a crow fell. We brought him to 



31 



the doctor who found that the crow 
had previously lost a foot and the 
wound had healed. The doctor re- 
marked that while it required a good 
marksman to bring down a crow it 
was no credit to a gunner to kill a 
disabled one, and to obviate the dif- 
ficulty and so 'beat the crowd' he took 
©ut his pocket knife and performed 
an amputation, gave the boys a nine- 
pence, first chargiag them not to tell, 
and thus received the cheers of the 
party as the champion marksman." 

His wife died May 19, 1834; he, 
April 20, 1842, of consumption, at the 
residence of his brother in Portland — 
Charles E. Barrett. They left one 
child, named Abby Sonthgate Barrett, 
who was cared for by her aunt, Mary 
(Barrett) Storer, a sister to her fath- 
er. She resides at No. 7 Deering 
street, Portland, unmarried. 



HORATIO SOUTHGATE. Jr. 

4. — ^Rt. Rev. Horatio Sonthgate, D. 
D., Jr., b. in Portland, July 5, 1812, son 
of Horatio and Nabby (McLellan) 
Sonthgate, and brother to the preced- 
ing, graduated from Bowdoin college, 
class of 1832, and from Andover Theo- 
logical seminary in 1836, was ordained 
as an Episcopal clergyman, which 
church sent him on a tour of explora- 
tion among the Mohammedans of Tur- 
key and Persia, where he spent three 
years investigating the state of the 
Oriental churches. Returning he pub- 
lished in 1839 an interesting book of 
his experiences entitled "A Tour 
Through Armenia, Kurdistan, etc.," 
and was ordained priest in New York. 

In 1840 he was returned to Constan- 
tinople by the Episcopal church and 
given charge of a large mission, the 
object of Which was to reform the 
Eastern churches, whose creed is 
similar to the Episcopalian of this 
land. Returning in 1844 he was con- 
secrated in St. Peter's church, Phila- 
delphia, Pa., missionary bishop for the 
dependances of the Sultan and return- 



ed to the field of his former labors. 

In 1846 he received the degree of 
D. D. from Columbia College, N. Y. 

In 1849 tie again returned to his 
home and abandoned missionary work 
in consequence of the illness of his 
wife. 

He was chosen bishop of the State 
of California, but declined to accept. 

While he was residing in Portland 
in 1851, and after the death of his 
wife who was as active in church work 
as himself, on the 19th day of April, 
thirteen citizens met in Recabite hall, 
where the city and county building 
is seen at this time, for the purpose 
of forming a Second Protestant Episco- 
pal church. The names were as fol- 
lows: James McCobb, Henry W. Hor- 
sey, Dr. John Merrill, Reuben Ordway, 
Hon. Josiah S. Little, Edward P. Ger- 
rish, Charles B. Merrill, (son of Dr. 
John), Edward E. Upham, John T. 
Smith, Ezra C. Andrews, N. Putman 
Richardson, Frederick Davis, and J. 
Ambrose Merrill. 

At this meeting the parish of St. 
Luke's was organized with Dr. John 
Merrill as senior warden. Union hall, 
entrance on Free street, extending 
back to Congress, and near the junc- 
tion of the two streets, in which many 
jolly good times were participated in 
by the citizens of Portland and vicin- 
ity in ye olden time, was hired and the 
work of cellecting and organizing a 
church was given Bishop Sonthgate. 
He labored a year — the foundation was 
well laid. He resigned his charge May 
1, 1852. 

The corner stone of the St. Luke's 
Cathedral was laid on State street, 
Aug. 7, 1854, and on July 10, 1855, the 
building was consecrated. The so- 
ciety is one of the most flourishing in 
Portland. 

The year Bishop Sonthgate resigned 
his trust in Portland he was called to 
the "Church of the Advent" in Boston, 
where he labored seven years, when 
he was elected Rector of Zion's church 
of New York city, where he remained

Portland, Oct. 23, 1814, son of Horatio 
and Nabby (McLellan) Southgate and 
brother to the preceding, graduated 
from Bowdoin College, class of 1835. 
It is said of him that he was not a 
brilliant man but a man of solid sense 
and a practical thinker. He studied 
medicine and having taken his degree 
went to Texas. In 1841 he settled in 
Burlington, Iowa Territorj-. Then 
he changed his calling for that of the 
ministry and went to the southern 
part of Illinois. His next move was 
to take charge of an Episcopal Parish 
at Edwardsville, and died at Quincy, 
111., Feb. 29, 1844, aged but 30 years. 
He was united but a few months be- 
fore in marriage with Miss Mary, 
dau. of Eleazer Moore, of Gardiner, 
this state. The widow survived till 
this year — a period of 56 years — all 
the while clinging fondly to the name 
of her departed husband, even her 
last request being that his name 
might be coupled with hers in the 
opening paragraph of her obituary. 
She died in Muscatine, Iowa.

New York, with great credit — "the 
most learned and finished writer and 
thinker of the school." He was or- 
dained at Portland, July 8, of that 
year, as Deacon. In 1857 he was Rec- 
tor of Trinity Parish, Lewiston, this

WALTER BOWNE, JR. 

1 — Walter Bowne, Jr., b. in New 
York city June 18, 1806, only son of 
Walter and Eliza (Southgate) Bowne, 
Sen., and grandson of Dr. Robert 
Southgate, m. Eliza Rapalye, b. New 
Lots, Long Island, N. Y., Nov. 8, 
1808, dan. of Simon and Helen 
Rapalye. They resided at "The Clif- 
ford," where the father spent the sum- 
mer months, and where Walter, Jr. 
was a "gentleman farmer," the farm 
lot said to have contained five hundred 
acres. An aged and much respected 
citizen of Flushing writes us: "I knew 
personally Walter Bowne, Jr., and his 
father well. Walter was a careful 
man and left a larger estate than his 
father." Walter, Sen., we are in- 
formed, left a round $1,000,000, but an- 
other authority says: "Reduce the 
amount a half," but rich and as popu- 
lar as he may have been the Flushing 
historian fails to mention his name in 
his printed work. 

Walter Bowne, Jr., died at the Buck- 
ingham Hotel, New York city, Oct. 30, 
1877. The widow purchased the an- 
cient Bowne residence, where she 
died July 27, 1885. Both were interred 
in the Flushing cemetery.

alye) Bowne, Jr.:

MARY BOWNE. 

2 — Miss Mary Bowne, b. July 25, 
lSOS,(to whose name somebody add- 
ed that of King), only sister to the 
preceding, m. Dec. 5, 1826, Hon. John 
Watson Lawrence, b. in Flushing, 
Long Island, N. Y., Aug. 19, 1800. 

His father was Effingham Lawrence 
b. June 6, 17G0, who m. Elizabeth, dau. 
of Thomas Watson. The name is 
easily traced to John Lawrence, 1664, 
one of the incorporators of Hemp- 
stead, L. I., and to Flushing a few 
years later, as one of the eighteen 
granteers of the town which then re- 
ceived the name by which it has ever 
since been known. He was a man of 
influence who had brothers settle at 
Flushing. He d. in 1699. 

Effingham Lawrence was a stirring 
man. He built and resided in the 
large two story, hip-roofed house, with 
pillars on the front and extending 
from the stoop to the projecting gable, 
with a conservatory at the opposite 
end of the hallway, which hallway ex- 
tends the entire length of the resi- 
dence, the residence fronting norther- 
ly, before which is a vast area of salt 
marsh, like that of Dunstan, Scarboro, 
between which and the residence pass- 
es the highway to New York city and 



the sluggish waters of the little stream 
that rises and falls with the flow and 
ebb of the tide water of the ocean. The 
conditions of a century ago are the 
conditions of today relative to the 
situation. The residence is reached 
from the rear street, by a serpentine, 
flagged walk, the appearance of the 
dwelling not having undergone a 
change since the first construction. 
The lot, large and airy, with boat- 
house, stable, and lawns, is situated 
upon the extreme northerly border of 
Flushing village, and to one passing 
along the highway " Willow Bank" 
v.ith the church steeples and numer- 
ous trees in the rear, presents a 
charming picture — a picture well cal- 
culated to excite the feelings of ad- 
miration of those who delight in be- 
holding scenes of intermixed art and 
nature's work permeated by stories of 
coquetish glances, wooings and wed- 
dings — the actors gone, the story un- 
recorded, not even in a geneological 
manner other than that of a fragment- 
ary disjointment, difficult of obtaiu- 
ment. but of such is much of the hu- 
man race. It was to this place John 
W^atson Lawrence took his bride, who 
was possessed of many of the charms 
of her mother, where she displayed 
her tact and talents in entertaining, 
performing at the same time a leading 
part in society circles. This was the 
place where the letters of Eliza 
(Southgate) Bowne were kept and 
read till they were worse than thread- 
bare by use that now form the major 
liart of the book entitled "A Girl's Life 
Eighty Years Ago." 

Hon. John Watson Lawrence 
was an active and much re- 
spected man. At the age of 
sixteen he was placed in a counting- 
house in New York city. At the age 
of twenty-one he formed a copartner- 
ship under the firm name of Howland 
& Lawrence, as Commission Merch- 
ants. For a series of years he was 
president of Queens County Savings 



36 



Bank, and for a number of years Presi- 
dent of the Seventh Ward Bank of 
New York. For fifteen years he was 
President of the Village Corporation 
of Flushing, and many years warden 
of St. George's Episcopal church. 

In politics he was a Democrat, and 
was elected to the State Legislature 
and in 1845 he was a member of the 
House of Representatives at Washing- 
ton, D. C, but declined to accept a re- 
nomination as he did the nomination 
for the office of Lieutenent-Governor 
of the state of New York. 

He d. Dec. 20, 1888, at his residence 
where his father died about the time 
he was born, in the residence as now 
seen, and known as "Willow Bank." 
His wife died there August 3, 1874. 
Both were interred at Flushing ceme- 
tery.

HENRY B. SMITH. 
2 — ^^Rev. Henry BojTiton Smith, D.D., 
LL. D., b. in Portland, Nov. 21, 1815, 
son of Henry and Arixene (Southgate) 



Smith, she a granddaughter of Dr. 
Robert and Mary (King) Southgate, 
was, from childhood, an invalid, yet 
he performed a masterly amount of 
labor. He was, in short, a wonder- 
ful man — a graduate of Bowdoin Col- 
lege, tutor, foreign traveler, country 
parson, newspaper contributor, then 
editor, book compiler, lecturer, church 
historian, philosopher, theologiast, col- 
lege professor, a companion of the 
most learned of his generation, and 
yet, his name is seldom heard in the 
city of his birth or in Westbrook, the 
town in which his father, with his 
step-mother, resided, the inscription 
upon whose monument in the village 
cemetery at Saccarappa we have pre- 
sented in a former article. 

And why is this state of forgetful- 
ness so complete hereabouts? The 
youth is told that if he engages in the 
cause of his country and falls upon 
the battle field his name will be rev- 
ered. Where is the •'Hall of Fame" 
for such hereabouts? Are there even 
official records of names? 

In education, where is the record 
of the deserving? Where is the "Hall 
of Fame" located? 

The trumpet of fame over the name 
of Prof. Henry Boyntou Smith is so 
seldom heard now-a-days that the 
name almost sleeps the sleep of utter 
forgetfulness, but it may yet be re- 
claimed, and Westbrook, as a muni- 
cipality, can perform no wiser act than 
to cause the erection of a statue in 
front of the Public Library building 
as an object lesson of a public charac- 
ter of a worthy citizen of whom in 
original thought and literary labor 
few only are his peers. He printed 
sermons, essays, lectures, newspaper 
editorials and books compiled by him, 
and all while in feeble health, are 
too numerous for us to notice only 
in a general way, — a reference only 
to a few of the most salient points in 
his career can we give. 
When a mere child, and before his 



37 



parents were aware of the fact, he 
could read with wonderful accuracy. 
His perceptions were quick, and his 
memory extremely retentive. At the 
age of thirteen he had assigned him 
for a composition the subject: — 

"Which has the most influence in 
society, wealth or knowledge?" 

John Neal, Esq., was present when 
the composition was read, and so struck 
was he with the ability displayed that 
Mr. Neal called at the lad's home and 
cccused the parents of assisting but 
was assured that the lad performed 
the whole labor unaided, and further- 
more, it was the original, and not a 
copy of the draft, that was read. 

At the age of fourteen he kei)t 
a journal of his personal experiences, 
and in it is an account of his admis- 
sion to Bowdoin College, then under 
fifteen years of age, and on the 23d 
day of July, 1830, he writes: "Here 
I am up at five o'clock, sitting at my 
desk in my chamber, writing a pre- 
face to it — (his journal.) 

It appears his father was in relig- 
ious belief a Unitarian who attended 
Rev. IchaboJ Nichols" meeting at the 
Portland First Parish and young 
Smith viewed as irrational the doc- 
trines of total depravity and spiritual 
change, but a "revival" in college, 
while a student there, changed his 
viev/s upon theological matters and 
he not only accepted the light of the 
"revival" but presented criticisms for 
publication upon "Scientific Tracts," 
entltled""Moral Reforms," which were 
accepted, approved and praised by the 
radical Orthodox of the Congregation- 
al church, Dr. Cummings inviting him 
to contribute to the "Christian Mir- 
ror," the Congregational paper of the 
state. His college graduation part 
v.-as entitled — "The Power of the Gos- 
pel," which was declared a masterly 
production. 

In the month of October, 1834, he 
entered the Theological Seminary at 
Andover, in order to prepare himself 



for the ministry, but commencing 
study at six in the morning and con- 
tinuing till eleven at night soon pro- 
duced a prostrating illness which re- 
quired him to leave Andover, but he 
resumed study at Bangor. 

Finishing at Bangor he became a 
tutor in Greek and Librarian at Bow- 
doin, aged but twenty. 

In 1837, in May, he was a visitor at 
Philadelphia, and witnessed the scenes 
of rupture in the Presbyterian 
Church General Assembly, the heal- 
ing of which division he was more 
instrumental than any other person 
in producing, thirty years later, in 
the same city and in the same church 
edifice. 

At Bowdoin College, March 4, 1837, 

he wrote, in referring to a seven 

weeks' vacation spent "at home" 

[Saccarappa] as follows: 

"I enjoyed myself in reading, writ- 
ing, talking, laughing — and preaching 
— for [Rev.] Mr. Searle was part of 
the time disabled, and I filled his place 
[Rev. Mr. Searle was the Congrega- 
tional clergyman at Saccarappa.] I 
like such extemporaneous trials for 
myself. I think the discipline does 
me good, and keeps my heart warm 
in the great work to which I have de- 
voted myself wholly," etc. 

Then he spent a period of two or 
three years in Europe, the state of 
his health forbidding a continuance of 
his theological studies in this coun- 
try, returning and arriving July 1, 
1840. 

The following is from his diary: 

Walnut Hill. [North Yarmouth,] 
Me., Sept. 11, 1840. 

"Father was quite urgent that 
I should attend the Association 
[of Congregational ministers] and 
get a license, so I went to work on 
my sermon, and in about five 
hours had written one that I 
thought might do, for, though in 
point of style it had many 
defects, yet it was sound in doc- 
trine, scriptural, presented the 
grand reconciling truths of our 
dispensation; the text, I Cor. i. 30, 
— 'For of Him are ye in Christ 
Jesus, who of God is made unto 



us wisdom, and righteousness, and 
sanctification, and redemption.' 

"Well, on Tuesday morning I 
went to New Gloucester, [Me.] 
where the Association met. The 
examination came on after dinner. 
They found me Orthodox and gave 
me my commission. More than 
iwenty ministers were present." 
It appears that he had kept school 
at Walnut Hill and was there to 
preach to the people when he wrote 
the above, and added as follows: 

•1 had four invitations to preach 
this Sunday and five for the next but 
have refused all, for this I came here. 
I know the people. A beautiful new 
church is here." 

Dec. 29, 1842, he was ordained as a 
Congregational minister at West 
Amesbury, Mass., and assumed the 
l)astoral duties of the position. Of 
tlie examination one who was present 
remarked: "It seems rather doubtful 
whether he was before the council 
or the council before him." 

Oct. 10, 1847, he preached his fare- 
well sermon at West Amesbury. Dur- 
ing the time he was there he not only 
interested himself in local improve- 
ments of the neighborhood, but de- 
livered many college lectures before 
college and other societies. 

In 1850, at the age of 36, the chair 
of Church history was tendered him 
by the Union Theological Seminary of 
New York city, which, after much de- 
liberation, he accepted. His first lec- 
ture in that institution "commanded 
the admiration of Christians through- 
out the land." 

In 1853 there was added to his la- 
bors in the Seminary the chair of 
Systematic Theology, the duties of the 
two positions he performed until June, 
1855. 

In 1858 the editorship of the Pres- 
byterian Quarterly Review, published 
in Philadelphia, was tendered him, 
he having become a Presbyterian, 
which position he accepted in addition 
to his school cares — and he made a 
lively denominational paper. 



In 1859 he again visited Europe, 
landing in New York on the return 
trip, Sept. 27, of that year. 

His "Tables of Church History" 
were now printed, a work of great 
magnitude, containing more than 
thirty thousand references, and he 
smiled over a rich harvest of public 
approval of his labors on this branch 
of his work. One critic wrote: "The 
Tables are extraordinarily rich. It 
indeed has been a most laborious task, 
requiring a great deal of reflection, 
to present a general view of the rich 
contents of history, sacred and pro- 
fane, you have done." 

Of his writings during the War of 
the Rebellion in favor of the cause of 
the Union, George Bancroft, the his- 
torian, said: "I read nothing in our 
contest more instructive and more sat- 
isfactory." 

Of an oration delivered at a Mid- 
dletown, [Ct.,] commencement, the 
New York Tribune said: "Profoundity 
altogether too deep for a popular au- 
dience;" to which he added — "so much 
for trying to enlighten people." 

"Amid all his work in the Semin- 
ary and in the church his literary la- 
bors were manifold. His pen was 
never idle. He was constantly at 
work on translations, reviews of 
books, sometimes elaborate articles 
for different periodicals." 

Prof. Smith, in the spring of 1854, 
purchased the residence numbered 
thirty-four. East 25th street. New 
York city, where he ever after re- 
sided till his death. In 1864, George 
Bancroft, the historian, proposed a 
donation to pay off the mortgage, say- 
ing he would contribute $500, and 
June 16th, of that year, a bank check 
of $5,100 was sent the Professor, Mr. 
Bancroft pronouncing publicly, Prof. 
Smith "most learned man in his line 
ever produced." 

At Hudson, Ohio, July 14, the same 
year, Prof, Smith wrote: "This col- 
lege made me LL. D. yesterday!" 

Of notices of him recorded the 



39 



previous year we select the following: 
After preaching in Portland, he 
went out on Monday to Prout's Neck, 
Scarboro, a favorite resort of his, ten 
miles distant. "He took his family 
one day, to the old home of his grand- 
father where his uncle, Hon. Horatio 
Southgate, still resided. (We have 
noticed the place). With the eager 
delight of a boy he went round with 
them, up stairs and down, and into 
the large barn, to the garden ^ and 
orchard, to the fir-grove (hemlock) 
and the clear, flowing brook, and 
above it the picturesque ledge of rock 
cut with the initials of many a 
househeld name. After the death of 
his uncle, the following year, all 
these passed into the hands of strang- 
ers." 

In 1869, accompanied by his wife 
and son, on the 24th of February, in 
extreme feebleness he again sailed 
for Europe, returning, landed in New 
York, Oct. 14, 1870. 

He took special pleasure in fitting 
up the library and study of his New 
York home. Of it Rev. Marion R. 
Vincent, D. D., wrote as follows: 

"Ah! those hours in the library! 
W'ho that has enjoyed them can 
ever lose their fragrance? Who 
can forget that room, walled and 
double walled with books, the 
baize-covered desk in the corner 
by the window, loaded with the 
fresh philosophic and theologic 
treasures of the European pens, 
and the little figure in the long 
gray wrapper seated there, the 
figure so frail and slight that, 
as one of his friends remarked, 
it seems as thought it would not 
be much of a change for him to 
take on a spiritual body; the 
beautifully moulded brow, crowned 
with its thick, wavy, sharply- 
parted iron gray hair, the strong, 
•aquiline profile, the restless shift- 
ing in his chair, the nervous pulling 
of the hand at the moustache, as 
the stream of talk widened and 
deepened, the occasional start 
from his seat to pull down a book 
or to search for a pamphlet, how 
inseparably these memories twine 



themselves with those of high de- 
bate and golden speech and con- 
verse on the themes of Christian 
philosophy and Christian expe- 
rience." 

Prof. Henry Boynton Smith m. Jan. 
5, 1843, Elizabeth Lee Allen, born at 
Hanover, N. H., Sept. 3, 1817, dau. 
of William Allen, D. D., who served 
as President of Dartmouth and Bow- 
•loin Colleges and who finally settled 
and died at Northampton, Mass., Aug. 
16, 1868, and where his remains were 
interred. Prof. Smith died at his 
New York residence February 7, 1877; 
she, in Lakewood, N. J., Dec. 5, 1898, 
at the home of their daughter— the 
wife of Rev. Charles H. McClellan, D. 
D. 

Of the much that was said at his 
funeral exercises which were holden 
on the 9th of Februai-y in the New 
York Madison Square Presbyterian 
Church we can present but a few lines 
from the addresses of Rev. Dr. Pren- 
tiss as follows: 

"Should the story of his noble 
career ever be fully told, his name 
will be enrolled, by general con- 
sent, among those of the most use- 
ful and most remarkable men of 
his generation * * * * quj. 
country has produced no theolo- 
gian who combined in a higher de- 
gree the best learning, literary 
and philosophical culture, wise, 
discriminating thought, and abso- 
lute devotion to Christ and His 
kingdom." 

In the ancient Northampton, Mass., 
cemetery may be seen upon his tomb- 
stone transported from his native 
State of Maine, an inscription that 
reads as follows: 

In Pace Domini. 
•Sacred to the Dear and 
Honored Memory of 
HENRY BOYNTON SMITH, D. D., 
LL. D., 
1815—1877. 
"In Christ Jesus who of God is 
made unto us Wisdom and Right- 
eousness and Sanctification and 
Redemption."

They reside at Sheplierdstown, West 
Virginia. She is a poet of more 
than local fame — her productions ap- 
pearing not only in magazines over 
the signature of "Danske Dandridge" 
but in book form, notices gleaned 
from twenty-three newspapers are 
now before us, which are only a 
comparatively small number be- 
stowed upon her last book, entitled 
"Joy and Other Poems." — For sale at 
all book stores. 

An extract from the Portland, 
(Me.,) Daily Press we here present 
as follows: 

A genuine poet — Danske Dan- 
dridge. Her work is of great 
promise. * * It is no small 
virtue to combine such natural 
and healthy sentiment with so 
delicate and capricious a lyric 
gift as this. Her verse is a 
sylph-like creature of air and 
fire that catches and interprets 
the most ethereal and mysterious 
utterances of nature and her 
children. * * There is no 
doubt that Danske Dandridge is 
born a poet. — Portland Press. 
She has three surviving children 
named respectively: Violet, Adam 
Stephen; and Dorothea Spottiswoode.

doun Co., Va. They resided at 
Rockland, where he was a fanner. 
He graduated from West Point Mili- 
tary Academy, served three years in 
the U. S. Army as a cavalryman and 
tendered his commission for the pur- 
pose of uniting in marriage. When 
the disturbance between ihe States 
came he took the side of the South 
and served as Colonel in the 19th 
Virginia Reg. in the Confederate ar- 
my. 

His wife died Sept. 19, 1860; 
he m. second Miss Ida Lee, (*) a 
sister to Edmund Jennings Lee, who 



became the husband of his daughter, 
Rebecca Rust. 

He d. at Rockland, Va., July 17, 

1887. 

r*Co]. Rust and second wife, who 
was Miss Ida Lee, as we have stated, 
had children, but we know nothing 
of them. She writes as follows: 
"My children's names are all re- 
corded in the Lee Genealogy, com- 
piled by Dr. Edmund Lee of Philadel- 
phia, Pa., which is a very complete 
work. My mother's brother married 
first Margaret Rust, a sister of my 
husband. His second wife was Car- 
oline Lawrence, a sister to my hus- 
band's first wife. Then my hus- 
bond's daughter married my own 
brother, so that my children can hard- 
ly tell how they are related.]

"Dr. Lawrence Rust was a Pro- 
fessor of Greek in this College. 
He was never President but was 
Dean. He resigned in 1885. He

Kenyon Military Academy till 
his death. He was one of the 
founders of Harcourt Place 
Seminary — a school for girls. He 
was' also connected with the Mili- 
tary Academy before he resigned 
The chair of Greek. I have been 
told that when he came to Gam- 
brier he was one of the finest 
specimens of physical manhood

fail before 1883. His widow and 
two daughters are abroad."

Henry Townsend was born in the 
year A. D. 1605, and died Feb. 6. 1695, 
"covered with honor and glory," from 
whom Mrs. Walter Bowne Lawrence, 
nee Annie Townsend, is descended. 
Her .father was Robert Cornell Town- 
send, b. May 2, 1807, m. August 1, 
3 837, Mary Augusta Whittimore, b. 
Sept. 1, 1817, dau. of Samuel Whitti- 
more, b. in Boston, Mass. They re- 
sided corner of 18th street and 5th 
avenue. New York, and he was a 
wholesale dry goods merchant, firm of 
Townsend Brothers. 

The "Sterling Iron Works" were 
constructed at Sterling in N. Y. state 
in 1751; the Forge in 1752 by Abel 
Noble. Peter Townsend, great-grand- 
father to Mrs. Lawrence, purchased 
what was termed the "Sterling grant," 
comprising many acres of land and 
joined the Noble firm of iron manu- 
facturers. In 1778 an agent of the 
Colonial Government cortracted with 
the Noble Co., to manufacture the 
chain that was used at "V^'est Point to 



49 



prevent the British warships from as- 
cending the Hudson river. The links 
weighed each one hundred and fifty 
pounds while the whole chain weigh- 
ed one hundred and eighty-six tons, 
which was five hundred yards long, 
and was to be made in six weeks. The 
price was £440 per ton delivered in 
place, which amount the government 
never paid the manufacturers, but 
members of the Townsend family 
have links of the ehain. 

The last proprietor of the Sterling 
Works was Peter Townsend, oldest 
brother to Mrs. Lawrence's father, 
she holding copies of the original pa- 
pers dated May 2, 1778. 

The Peter Townsend estate was di- 
vided in 1863, and each heir received 
a portion. Thus we are informed by 
Mrs. Lawrence.
